Toxic Colleagues - How to Handle Their Behaviour and Keep Your Sanity
I have worked with SO MANY toxic people in my career. For a long time I thought the toxic behaviour just came as a package deal with the fields I worked in. For example, I worked at Centrelink and it was highly stressful, I worked in recruitment and it was highly competitive and I worked in many contract roles and it was always highly uncertain. I told myself that these environments made my colleagues understandably tense, and that thought turned into an excuse for their neuroticism. I was often detached from their negative attitudes, until it would manifest into bullying, harassment, and manipulation, creating toxic workplace cultures - something that always happened.

So here are my tips for effectively addressing your weaknesses in job interviews without resorting to dishonesty so that you can leave a lasting impression on your potential employers.
