How to Handle Liabilities

What do you say when your grades are just so-so or you have little or weak job experience? What if you were fired from your last job? How would you explain that you are changing your career path?

We all have liabilities, and the way we handle them in an interview is an important factor in whether or not we get selected for the job.

A liability is any personal factor or experience that hinders our chances of getting an offer for a particular job. Think about that. What it implies is that what is a strength for one position may be considered a liability for another. A mature, experienced job candidate may well have a liability in a position as management trainee, but a strength for a position as general supervisor.

A liability is just a part of who you are and should never be apologized for during any aspect of your job search!!
