QUESTION 2 WHAT ARE YOUR WEAKNESSES / wiːknɪsɪz/?

·       I am often impatient for results but I have recently learnt to control my stress level. ·       I am very detail-oriented but I have recently learnt to concentrate on the bigger picture as well. ·       I have a fear of speaking in front of a large audience but I am very good at more one-to one conversation ·       organization has not always been my strongest point but I’ve learned that keeping a clean workspace—both physically, and digitally—does support my ability to focus and enhance the efficiency of my workflow ·       My management of time can be improved.That is why I have recently mplemented (implement = mettre en place) a time management system that enables me to stay organized without encroaching ( encroach = empieter) on my other responsibilities.
