What is your greatest weakness as a Project Manager? What are you doing to improve?

Focus on briefly describing your weakness, then explain what you are doing to make that weakness a strength. While you start your response with a negative (a fault), you want to end on a positive note, describing how you are improving.

Avoid describing a weakness that is an essential part of your job duties as a Project Manager. For example, if you say your greatest weakness is your leadership skills, the interviewer may hesitate to offer you the position since that is a vital skill needed for the job.

"My greatest weakness is my experience using PowerPoint and creating dynamic presentations. I gained minimal experience using the program while in college and can create basic presentations. However, I know there is much more to the program that I am unfamiliar with. I wanted to integrate videos into my presentations to make them more interesting, and I did not know how to do so. I signed up for an online Master's class and started it last week to improve my skills in this area. In just the last week, I have learned so much more about PowerPoint, and I feel this weakness will be a strength when I am done with the class in six weeks."
