    In an interview, bring up a weakness before you're asked for one. For example, "The truth is, I really need to work on my leadership skills. I'm a good worker and totally competent, but sometimes I lack the confidence to stand up and take a leadership position.”

    That candor builds chemistry, helps ensure you're likely to succeed on the job and differentiates you from typical candidates who hype themselves. It can even land you the job.
