Meg, I like that you are highlighting your strong work ethic. One concern is that you are really telling them two weaknesses but only one strength. One is that you take things personally, the other is that you shut people off when you’re offended instead of communicating to workout a solution. These are both red flags for employers. But it’s good that you are being honest and self-aware. You might want to mention what you are doing to overcome your tendency to take things personally so you can keep positive work relationships.

and push their products and innovate. I just found that the Playbook is much faster than almost all the tablets. I say”Why isn’t RIM marketing that!
Thanks for the comment.
