When you’re interviewing for a job and you get the old “what’s your greatest weakness?” question, how do you respond?

Do you go with the “I just work too darn hard” approach? Or maybe the “I cause my fellow employees to weep with despair when they see how superior my skills are” response is more your style. Or maybe you furl your brow and strike your best deep-in-thought pose for a full ninety seconds before finally shaking your head and saying, “I’m sorry, but I cannot answer your query because I am utterly without weakness.” But it seems to me that this question is really about discovering who is an obsequious brown-noser and who is a self-possessed champion of the truth. So I always go with the “I’m a lazy, procrastinating ex-con who steals office supplies, spreads computer viruses and exploits loopholes in the expense reimbursement system.”
