Job interview for medical receptionist, help w/ weakness question.?

I wouldn't say you have OCD, that can have negative connotations and make them think you might be borderline crazy. I would say something like "I take organization and follow through very seriously and if I do not complete all of my tasks at work, I have a hard time being stress fee until the job is done." Maybe say your weakness is dealing with the confusion created by insurance companies- because you feel so bad for the patients and want them to have an easy worry free experience when they visit the office.

Asking someone their weekness is a trap they set. A person with a negative self immage will spill their guts and then make excuses. Or simply put themself down. That's the whole point of the question. They want to observe is you have that problem Don't say anything about ANYTHING like OCD! That's a dead give away. Only mention this (or similar things) if you can't avoid someone finding out.

Hi! I think the "OCD" thing is likely to be misunderstood. Mentioning a real weakness along with what you're doing to set it right seems like a good approach to tackling the question. I've included a couple of resources below that you should find helpful. Wish you all the best!

I am always early and end up sitting and waiting to clock in but I am always on time. I have a big heart and sometimes it gets in the way of business but I have learned to stop the heart and think with my brain. Main thing is to always give a positive after you give the weakness answer to counteract it. Then it sounds like your answering the weakness question but you turn it into a positive

for weaknesses, say something that has nothing to do with the job..like for a receptionist, you could say your weakness is lifting heavy objects, because most likly you wont be doing that anyways

i wouldnt say the ocd thing it might put people off,you could that a weakness is (that is a hard question)self belief.
