Be honest. The interviewer doesn't expect you to say that you have no weaknesses. In fact, they want evidence that you are aware of your shortcomings and are working to improve those areas. Adidas encourages its employees to face challenges with positivity rather than fear. Your answer should prove that you can do the same.

Choose a skill that is not a core skill for the position. Tell the interviewer what you are doing to improve this skill, and keep your answer positive.

"My biggest challenge is trying to be perfect. I understand that mistakes happen and that it's important to learn from them. I'm working on being more mindful of my progress and not letting the pressure to be perfect impact my performance. I'm making an effort to be more accepting of my mistakes and use them as a tool for growth."

"My greatest weakness is that I can be overly eager to get started on a project before taking the time to fully understand the project's goals and objectives. As I'm new to the field, I'm still learning to take a step back and assess the bigger picture. I'm aware of this habit and have taken steps to combat it. For example, when starting my latest project at my previous job, I took the time to ask questions and grasp the project's scope before diving in."
