When asked about strengths and weaknesses in a job interview, it's tempting to give the classic responses of problem-solving and creativity for strengths and perfectionism for weaknesses, but these answers can come off as trite and dishonest, writes coach Joel Schwartzberg.

Your Next Challenge

"Bare Minimum Monday" may need a lower profile "Bare Minimum Monday" is when someone copes with the demands of manic Mondays by opting to work a lighter schedule on Mondays -- on a regular basis. It's a cute name for what is touted as a remedy for the "Sunday Scaries" -- which is when someone's anxiety about the start of the work week ruins their Sunday. But unless you're self-employed, bragging on TikTok invites the kind of scrutiny that might lead to your "Sunday Scaries" being cured because you can now take the whole day off seven days a week!
