Remember To
Remember to communicate that you are committed to improving the weakness area you describe in your response. Also, remember to select a weakness not listed as a core skill of the role. Candidates who lack a core skill will likely be excluded from additional interviews or offers.

Technology skill Example
"Although I am an Intermediate level user of Excel, I found that I was not up to date on some of the great functions offered by the program. I decided to enroll myself in an advanced Excel course. That course starts next week! I look forward to being an expert user soon."

Delegation and task ownership Example
"This is super cliche, but it's also true. I am not good at delegating to others. When I become submerged in a project, I don't like to give away any control. While this can be good, it can also inhibit the project's outcome and my growth as a team player and individual. I am working on this, as I know it is a deficit."
