[QUOTE="Helena, post: 3995, member: 32"] I think it's great that you are overcoming this and that you have taken on positions of responsibility, but I am wary of you bringing that up as a weakness in an application. The important thing about a weakness is to flip it immediately into a positive so you could say that while in the past you sometimes lacked confidence, you trained yourself to see the valuable opportunities in challenges ahead and took on leadership roles and the strong relationships you established after doing so. If however the firm you are applying to specifically targets confidence as a skill they are looking for, I wouldn't mention your lack of it. [/QUOTE]
