"Good student mentality" is something employers like to hear.

Personal experiance?
Are you a developer of personal growth?

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Well.. I can't remember the last time I interviewed for a job and didn't get it. But its not like I work at hooters so I'm guessing there was a little more to it..
No.. I'm a software developer.. personal growth is a ... personal thing.. so you tell me! ha!

I stand by my sig line...

So you're saying that he has no personal growth????

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

If you claim to have no weaknesses you're either ignorant or arrogant.

Some things can be construed as negative or positive

"I work too much"
"I'm too detail oriented"
"I'm not content with projects that don't challenge me"

You can also look at a place where you're improving

"I am still improving my ability to mentor junior people"

Should they ask you what position you desire say, "Missionary." Tell 'em that what interests them fascinates you and that you don't care what the pay is, you would just want to "hang with them 'cause they're cool."
When it comes to weaknesses:
You can't stand imperfection in your work so you may take longer to get it just right.
or... slam your fist down on the table and say, "I hate weakness!"
or... say, "I am like Yin and Yang, my weakness and strength balance in harmony to produce unstoppable worker." Then perform Tai Chi;
or... tell them your weakness is you don't mind working off the clock;
or... tell them you have a weakness for warm milk late at night, wearing socks to bed, applying underarm deodorant before going night-night in case you're physically active in your dreams and lastly, the only weakness you feel comes in the form of pain, because when you exercise, pain is weakness leaving the body. Oh, Good Luck!

You're always the starter in your own life!

At one interview, I said "I'm a perfectionist; I won't quit doing something until it's absolutely perfect." The HR lady laughed and asked for a different one. So now I just say I can't stand authority and tend not to listen to what my manager tells me to do. Granted, the times I did say that I didn't get the job.
