      Focus Your Answer On

      Focus on a weakness related to working as an intern but not an essential job duty. If you say your weakness is your verbal communication skills, the hiring manager may pass you over for another candidate since that skill is an essential part of being an excellent intern.

      What to Avoid

      Avoid describing a weakness that is a crucial responsibility of an intern or not work-related. The hiring manager wants to hear what weakness in your professional life you have identified and how you plan to improve.

      Answer Example

      "My greatest weakness in my professional life is my typing speed. I can type 40 words per minute, which is average. However, my goal is to get to 60 words per minute. I signed up for an online typing course and started one week ago. The course outline says that I can go from amateur to pro in thirty days, spending one hour a day practicing. My goal is to be at 60 words per minute in the next thirty days."
