So the way you talk about it's more about I'm very good communication So what is people love me? Customers love me and engineers love me and I was able to talk a very complex product topic such as edge Computing or cloud or AI whatever you plug in. That's Approved that you are very good at communication. Okay, so now let's work on the third one What's your third one again? Your third one is extremely short. Your second one is really long Your third one is really short. Your first one is actually medium now, which I like the better. What's your third one? I said gore oriented. Oh, you're very go already. Very good. Okay, so we'll change it to result driven Result driven is a better way to talk about go around. It's the same meaning Okay, so do you have evidence saying that you are very result driven?

So now let's work on your weakness quick reminder Everyone should only have one weakness in the interview even if I have three. Okay, you talk about one weakness So what's your weakness? I think my weakness is Organization what's mean organization? I think it's to meet easier to begin Create new tasks and focus onto the delivery results. But sometimes I'm not Invest the necessary time to Organize all the information that I have about my tasks and my challenge I think that you are not very good at organizing all your tasks and your challenges That's your organization skills. Okay, so that's okay Answer but the best answer is how you conquer those challenges Turn your weakness into strengths or at least how you solve this problem as someone who's not organized I have someone I just had one on one meeting with someone in my team. He's disorganized He's very very disorganized very distracted by stuff around him because all the operational tasks make him very Disorganized. Okay. So tell me knowing that you're disorganized. How would you solve this weakness? Yeah, because of that, I like to use PM tools as a son a gir and try to put all the information there is there as a Hope that helped me to maintain all the things organized. You use what kind of tools again? Asana Gira Okay, yeah So what the impact you use those tools? How much better are you right now? So much better because I have all the information that I need in the same place or We links in the same place. So today It's easy to find or to get all the information that they need to learn you You need to show a contrast before and after You can say something I put in the framework for you. Okay, you can say after use asana Jira, I was able to quickly pull information and In like and and get use of those information to really focus on the main important task For example in the past probably take me five hours Whatever to really get all the information organized now by implementing all the tools It only takes me like 30 seconds to even write a product requirement documentation. Whatever like something like that Okay, so can you give me a specific example to show the contrast before to send sometimes I Needed important information about results for example, and I needed to open to two or three or four Documents to find information that I need and nowadays I have this the same information five seconds because I had all The things mapped and organized by a center. So now let me it's very good Let me let me write a little bit better than you but you're fast learner. Okay, so you can say what my biggest biggest weakness is I'm disorganized I Sometimes as a product manager who has so much documentation Information from engineering team and customers stakeholders at beginning my career I find myself extremely disorganized and overwhelmed and stressed out but I laser focused on how can I improve my weakness by leveraging different kind of tools for example In the past couple years, I have tried to implement Jira and Asana Through those tools. I was able to access different kind of information and organize them in a timely fashion and for example Before I use those tools. I only I I need to get information from five different places Now I'm able to achieve all the same among the information outcome within two seconds Now this became this make me a very productive for a manager and that leading me to become one of best Performer in the company after I fix this weakness Awesome.
