If you believe that you have a particular disadvantage related to some aspect of your appearance, interviewing skills, job skills, or work experience, how should you handle the situation when preparing for an interview?

a. Open the interview by discussing this weakness so you can get it out of the way and move on to more positive topics.

b. Compensate by focusing on your strengths, both while you’re preparing and during the interview.

c. Correct the perceived shortcoming if possible; if not, focus on your positive attributes.

d. Ignore the situation; there’s nothing you can do about a weakness at this point.
