The interviewer wants to hear about your greatest weakness to see that you are self-aware and can identify an area that needs improvement. When you admit you have a deficiency in a particular aspect of your profession and take steps to improve, it shows the interviewer that you are motivated and inspired to grow professionally.

Focus on a weakness related to your profession, but not one that is an essential job duty. For example, suppose you say your weakness is your verbal communication skills. In that case, the interviewer may pass you over for another candidate since that skill is essential to the role you are interviewing for.

"My greatest weakness is my lack of experience in this field. I am improving this weakness by applying for this position. I just graduated college and received my bachelor's degree, and I only have experience from my internship. I aim to get chosen for the position and gain hands-on experience. I am a quick learner, and you will not be disappointed in my performance if hired for the position."

"My greatest weakness in my profession 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."
