This question is asked to see if you are humble enough to admit you have a weakness and what you are doing to turn that weakness into a strength. When an individual realizes they have room for improvement and make goals to grow, it shows the interviewer you are self-aware and interested in professional growth.

"I believe I could improve some technical skills, including Excel and PowerPoint. Currently, I am at an intermediate level; however, I would be more comfortable at an advanced level. I have enrolled in a weekend workshop for the next six weeks and can guarantee I will be at an advanced level in a few months."

"My greatest weakness is my inexperience. I had hands-on experience during my clinical, but that isn't the same as having a few years of work experience. What I am doing to turn my lack of experience into a strength is interviewing for this position and volunteering at an assisted living facility to gain more hands-on experience."

Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for this position. You can be candid in your answer, recognizing that you aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan to improve this weakness.
Perhaps you are watching TED talks to gain skills in a particular area, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or taking a seminar at a nearby community college. We are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
