It's equally important that you consider an employer's corporate culture. While being interviewed by a start-up, 'you could say, 'My weakness is I get bored by routine,'' says Ben Dattner, a New York industrial psychologist.
考虑目标公司的企业文化也同样重要。纽约心理学家达特纳（Ben Dattner）说，如果到一家初创公司面试，你可以说，“我的缺点是容易对日常的循规蹈矩感到厌烦”。
Last month, an aspiring executive director of a nonprofit group in suburban San Francisco nearly jeopardized his selection because his reply to a variation of the weakness question ignored one of its core values, according to Ms. Klaus, a board member there. Near the end of his interview, she wondered whether he might have problems with any aspects of the job. 'No, I am confident I could do it all,' the prospect declared.
克劳斯说，上个月，旧金山郊区一家非营利组织的一名热情的执行董事差一点儿毁掉他的机会，原因是他在回答一个变相的弱点问题时忽视了这家机构的一项核心价值。克劳斯是这家机构的董事。面试快结束时，克劳斯想知道他对那个职位的各个方面是否还有什么问题。“没问题，我想我都能解决，”这位求职者回答到。
