Don't be shy in sharing weaknesses that are not critical for the job. Taking ownership of your weaknesses suggests you view them as growth opportunities and actively take responsibility for your development as a professional. By openly sharing some self-perceived weaknesses and the strides you've already made in overcoming them, you'll present yourself as proactive and self-aware. As Home Depot advises on their site, My Orange Ladder, "Make an effort to change the behaviors getting in the way of your success."
