Answer to Question 1

Answer: Complaining about an employer is one of the most common and most detrimental mistakes candidates make at interviews. If you walk into an interview and speak negatively about your current job, you cast yourself in the role of a complainer and potential troublemaker, putting the fault on your current company/employer instead of accepting some responsibility yourself. You also make interviewers think that if they hire you, you could be speaking negatively about them to other prospective employers somewhere down the line. You want to project a professional image, as someone with the requisite skills to help the hiring company fill a need. A part of those skills include getting along with others and being able to work effectively together. Complaining about another job casts a negative light on your personality. Instead, you should focus on positive things, like advancing your career and wanting more responsibility or a greater challenge.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Your weakness should be a real weakness rather than a backhanded compliment. You will sound insincere if you suggest that your greatest weakness is that you work too hard or that you're a perfectionist. Mention a real weakness to show you are aware of your shortcomings. Then, identify constructive criticism you have received from previous employers or instructors, outline the steps you are taking to improve, note any progress, and predict your future success in this area.
