This is actually not difficult to answer. As long as you use the right method, it is not terrible to have shortcomings. How to impress the interviewer beautifully and resolve the shortcomings skillfully, please follow these four steps:
[1] Let’s talk about the opposite of shortcomings first, then let’s talk about shortcomings
Generally speaking, what is the opposite of your shortcomings? For example, your shortcomings are that you do things slowly, and your work often requires overtime to complete. Then you should say that you have higher requirements on yourself and always feel that you can do better work , Unconsciously the time passed, resulting in the inability to complete the work assigned by the boss in time. Saying faults in this way is less likely to leave a bad impression on the interviewer.
[2] Honestly speaking of shortcomings
In the interview process, you must be honest with the interviewer about your shortcomings, and have the courage to face up to your shortcomings and try to make changes. This should let the interviewer know your attitude to change your shortcomings. People make mistakes. The most important thing is to know where they are wrong.

【3】 Tell the story of how you have overcome your shortcomings
In fact, the interviewer does not necessarily really want to know your shortcomings, but wants to see your determination and process to overcome your shortcomings. For example, your PPT is not perfect, it is always difficult to take into account the beauty, the color matching is not good, I have been told by my boss that this kind of PPT is simply unmanageable. You can say that in order to do a good job in the PPT, you have signed up for training courses, and you often ask colleagues for advice, thinking about how to do a good PPT yourself. Finally, your boss feels that your PPT has improved, and such a case will refine your shortcomings.
[4] Disadvantages can also be advantages
I think it is a disadvantage, others may think it is not, that my subjective and other people's ideas are different. You can also make some jokes to the interviewer. For example, you are usually too perfect and often make yourself very tired. In fact, you can deal with things simpler, but you always make things perfect. You must not directly expose your shortcomings, but you can't completely hide your shortcomings, because no one is perfect, you must learn to brush the ball, so that you can have the opportunity to pass the interview and win a good job.
