How E. Jean Carroll Once Answered Roger Ailes
Columnist recalls her epic reply to that job interview stand-by, "What's your biggest flaw?"
The set-up for E. Jean Carroll’s latest Elle magazine advice column is fairly straightforward:
Dear E. Jean: I have an interview coming up for a PR job with a famous company that makes animated movies. Although I’m great at PR, I suck at talking about myself. And I’m terrible in interviews. How do I answer the “What’s your greatest weakness” question? I don’t want to go the “I work tooooooo hard” route. But what other weakness is there that doesn’t affect my ability to perform the job and comes across as honest? I’m stumped! — PR Girls Aren’t All About the Hype
Carroll’s answer? Whoa Nelly! It’s one for the ages, as it revisits how she once dealt with that HR staple during a 1994 job interview with Roger Ailes.
