Weakness 1: Low Self-esteem

Attend more group discussions and participate actively.

Weakness 2: Decision making

Upon graduation, a poor decision making ability like this will lead to lower chances of getting a job since employers prefer hiring people with a relatively higher decision making ability than mine. Poor decision making skills will also prove problematic in getting a starting job.
