Be sure to keep your answers consistent. How you answer this question will give the interviewer insight into your self-awareness and how you identify your weaknesses and growth opportunities. There are many candidates who might divulge too much information about themselves when prompted by questions such as these. People are generally forthcoming about telling you who they are right off the bat. Sometimes lightly admitting that you have anger management issues, but framing this in a way that presents the person you're telling this to would be the exception to this rule, will only serve by offering them the exact red flag they're looking for.

Frame your greatest weakness as an asset in its own right. Being a perfectionist can be a weakness. Similarly, this quality can be seen as a benefit to a company. Think about self-assessments you may have done prior to previous performance reviews and see if any of those growth opportunities can be applied.

"I'm terrible at incorporating micro-breaks into my workday. I eat lunch at my desk and am the opposite of a clock-watcher. I can't tell you how many supervisors have kicked me out when they were ready to turn off the lights and close up shop."

"I have difficulty letting go of my work and keep trying to make it perfect. My superiors often have to pry the work from my hands, saying it was good enough a while back."
