Hi guys!

I am preparing for the video interview stage and came across a practice question for PwC: What is the most difficult thing about working about you? I'm not sure what example to give which wouldn't hurt my application - previously with weakness questions I've talked about delegating tasks as a team leader and explained how I've improved. I'm reluctant to mention this given PwC's emphasis on whole leadership & leading a team as a key competency. I'd be really grateful for any advice or tips related to this.

Thank you in advance! :)

Do you mean "working with you"?

There's definitely a fine balance between honesty/making sure it's actually a weakness and saying something that doesn't come across as a huge handicap in these questions.

Some ideas of the kind of answers that could work for this (but still try to choose something that connects with you):
  • You don't ask for help enough
  • You can ask too many questions
  • You can be too sensitive to criticism
  • You get too emotionally invested in your work
