When sharing your strengths and weaknesses, try to frame your strengths as the kinds of traits they are looking for in their future talent. When considering a weakness to share, frame your weakness as a strength in its own right, a skill that is an asset but still underdeveloped and can sometimes work against you, such as being too hard on yourself when you suffer a setback, wanting to contribute more and trying too hard, taking on more work than you can handle with the aim of wanted to be more proactive, or being too much of a perfectionist.

"I feel one of my greatest strengths is not being afraid to make mistakes, and being able to quickly learn from my mistakes and not let them hold me back. But this sometimes can be a weakness of mine as well. Sometimes I am a bit too pragmatic and not as apologetic as I could be. But I move on pretty quickly, and when I make a mistake and take ownership of it and say I won't make that mistake again, you know it's true, and that I won't."
