We are all human with our own weaknesses, and Danone understands this. There is no reason to fear sharing your weaknesses. That's the point of this question. This tests your ability to dentify your growth opportunities and take ownership of them. However, be filtered. Having a professional filter is a positive trait, and if you lack the wisdom to be filtered and over-share your negative traits, the interviewer will identify it as a red flag. It's best to frame your greatest weakness as an asset in its own right. Being hard on yourself when you occasionally make a mistake can be viewed as a weakness. Similarly, this quality can be seen as a benefit to a company. Think about the self-assessments you may have done before previous performance reviews and consider whether any of those growth opportunities can be applied. Above all, exhibit self-awareness and a motivation to continually develop yourself and your career.
