I usually do poorly selling myself in an interview. I understand that. I really didn't have in mind something like a job interview, just a get acquainted session. Cookies and a little chit chat. It could be in a reception format rather than an interview format. I've done a ton of interviewing, job applicants, study subjects, clients, system users. I'm really, really informal and can get a good sense of people in an hour. I once built a wonderful staff using informal interviewing techniques. But then "they" started insisting on this panel-style interview format with the same questions for everyone and I lost interest. As for being on the other side of an interview, I always enjoyed them with two exceptions. I quit talking to reporters a long time ago. And I'm glad that I'll never again in my life have to submit to a job interview. I don't think anyone likes to do that. Regarding weaknesses, there's a school of thought that says one never admits any. I don't agree with that. I was always honest. I didn't want to get a job and then be unhappy in it because I wasn't a good match. Strengths and weaknesses are both part of the match. Karen
