ADMITTING YOUR WEAKNESSES

When I got out of college I went to many interviews but I didn’t get a ministry! I was talking to one of my professors about this, and I admitted that I did not do well at interviews. He said just admit this at your next interview!

I did at the next one! As soon as I admitted that I was not good at interviews, an elder jumped all over me. He said, "You have been to college. The first rule of interviewing is to emphasize your strengths and not your weaknesses!"

I said, "Well, I thought I would be honest with you. We could start this over and I could lie to you and try to be someone I am not. Is that what you want?"

When it was all said and done, I got the ministry position!
