Being Meek
A few months ago, I went to an interview with a Swedish company. The position that I applied for is a management position.
Well, the time for the interview kicked off with some common questions. Then the Vietnamese human resource manager summarized that because of being meek, I wasn't qualified for that job. I didn't mind what he had said until recently when I had another interview, a female interviewer said something like that about me. I realised that it is true.
Living for a half of my lifespan, learning about my personality is so late. I have thought that possessing this quality is very good for me, but the two interviewers disappointed me a little. The first time I have heard that a good qualify like meekness caused some problems for those who have that personality.

Having already lived for a half of my lifespan, learning about my personality is very late.

Meekness is a good characteristic of one person, but it is not usually the personality a company wants. Maybe you can try to have more interview from different companies, you will find the company that suits you the best eventually. :) Good luck
