job interview about weakness My weakness Sometimes I focus on my idea so much that I miss something else important. For example, I took an assignment about making a music video when I was in my university. The topic was about love but I thought "If I put comedy with love together, it would be great and fun" I made my video and presented in a classroom. But my professor told me that "your idea doesn't fit the rule which is only about love" Then, I realized that I should have asked my idea to him first. After that, an assignment of making a video about my school came in. And I utilized the lesson that I learned last semester. As a result, it turned about that I got a credit A in that class.

My weakness

Sometimes I focus on my idea so much that I miss something else important.
For example, I took an assignment about making a music video when I was in my university.
The topic was about love but I thought "If I put comedy with love together, it would be great and fun"
I made my video and presented it to my class. But my professor told me that "your idea doesn't fit the rule which is that it should only be about love"
Then, I realized that I should have asked him about my idea first.
After that, an assignment of making a video about my school came in. And I utilized the lesson that I learned the previous semester. As a result, it turned out that I got an A in that class.

Excellent answer! You very clearly showed how you learned from your mistake. That is they key point in answering this type of question. One more suggestion: find stronger adjectives than "great”and "fun.” Good bit of writing.
