First off, sorry it's been so long, school has been eating away
all my time! Thankfully it's almost over with. Funny thing, this actually just happened to me on Friday! It was really awkward because I had to stop and pause for like 5 minutes to think of something, not that I'm perfect (not even close!!), but I just didn't even know what to say! A flaw, but it can't be any flaw, it has to sound professional and has to somehow tie into my work in a way? Wha? I ended up saying that my flaw is jumping into things without planning out the details or thinking about the end product. You know what I mean? You're so excited about something that you don't look at the big picture and then later down the road you realize 'oh crap, this isn't going to work out too well.' In my opinion, that isn't too big of a flaw. Of course, it would be a little more helpful to be more realistic but it's fun to dream, and lots of dreams are within your reach! That's not my biggest flaw but it was the one that tied into my interview, so I went with it. I think that my true biggest flaw is being controlling. Which, thank goodness, I've stopping doing almost completely. A friend of mine just told me 'Don't sweat the small stuff.' such a simple and common quote, but hearing it from someone who has been there and done that made it all the more clear. What is a flaw that you have? Better yet, what is a secret flaw that you have?

My biggest flaw.. how do i choose?! Ive been thinking about this question since I read it yesterday morning while wating at Riley to be called back for my appointment. At first I thought that my biggest flaw was jumping to conclusions to soon, then I thought well maybe my biggest flaw is that I don't really caring about trying to control my life because I figure it'll all turn out the way its supposed to no matter how hard I try to change my life or the situations I face which results in complete laziness on my end.. But then i realized my true biggest flaw is the fact that I continually doubt myself in every aspect of my life. I never think I'm good enough, worthy enough, strong enough, smart enough, wise enough, pretty enough, skinny enough, or healthy enough for whatever the situation may be. Cancer took a lot away from me but the biggest thing cancer took was my confidence in myself. Everything that I mentioned is a result of not having confidence in myself. I used to think I was the greatest thing to ever walk the planet and granted that was a little extreme but I wish I had at least a tiny fraction of the confidence that I used to have. I, now, even hate talking to people who don't know my situation because I don't feel like my brain is healthy enough to hold a conversation. What I mean is that the chemo messes with my thinking process so when talking to other people, I have to think about a question longer and it takes me longer to form thoughts in a logical pattern. I LOVE socializing but without my old confidence, I avoid talking to others as much as I can. All that to say my biggest flaw is my lack of confidence in my ability to do almost anything. One day my confidence will come back, its just a matter of waiting and working on my flaw.

so I just realized I didnt answer the actual question.. I thought it just asked what my biggest flaw was not what I would say in an interview. In an interview I'd probably say that my biggest flaw is that I like being the leader in a work environment, I don't like following the direction of others. I'll listen to ideas from others but in the end, I like being the leader which could be a very bad thing in some situations. I like my first answer thogugh cause it gives you a little more insight to me orather than this silly little interview question lol :)
