Just had a job interview today and I was doing fine till he asked me what a former boss would say a weakness of mine was. I'm just finishing up school so I haven't had too many 'real' interviews. I practiced some things to say for different questions, but not that one! Oh well, every interview only helps you get better for the next one I guess. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope I get the job!

He said he asked it like that to weed out answers like, "I'm a perfectionist..." and stuff like that.

My mom's family is from Tremonton, near the ID/UT border. No, I'm not from Cedar City. I happen to currently live in Cedar City, but would never claim to be from here. It is really pretty here. I used to live in northern Utah near Tremonton. Next time you are out here, let me know and we can have a mini-meet.

Have you heard of Riverside? That's actually where my mom grew up. My grandparents own a ranch out there. Unfortunately I'm not from UT--we've lived primarily out East. Every time we visited I wanted to work on the farm but they didn't let me touch to much stuff cause I was a 'city slicker'. My 6 yr. old cousins would be driving tractors down the road and I could only watch with envy!

It is a small world, I've been through Riverside.I don't know why you are complaining about not being from Utah, I'm glad I'm not from Utah. I just live here. I'm from D.C. There is no way in hell I would ever claim to be from Utah.
