What is your greatest weakness?
Perhaps you are watching TED talks to gain skills in a particular area, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
"I believe I could improve on some technical skills, including Excel and PowerPoint. Currently, I am at a beginner to intermediate level; however, I would be more comfortable at an advanced level. I have enrolled in an evening/weekend workshop for the next six weeks. We will see how stellar my skills are after that course!"
"Sometimes I have difficulty asking my coworkers for help. I like having control over my daily tasks and taking on new projects, but I'm not always willing to admit when I have taken on too much. When I made a mistake because I was juggling too many projects, I learned that it's okay to ask for help. I'm learning how to organize better and communicate what I need from my team. This skill has helped me be more effective at my job, and it's helped my team work together even better than before!"

Sometimes is difficult for me to ask for help, I feel they going to think I am lazy so its a challenge in my head but if I need help I do ask for it.
