Pick a weakness that is not a core skill for this position. You can be candid in your answer, recognizing that you aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure to have an action plan in place for improving on this weakness.
Perhaps you are watching TED talks to gain skills in a particular area, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or maybe you are taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!

"I know this will come off as cliche, but it's truthful. My weakness is not delegating. I know what I want and how I want it done, so it's often easier to do it myself. However, it can inhibit my ability to grow. I cannot take on every step of a project; I need to be able to give the task or a portion of it to another team member or direct report, let go of the control, and know it will be taken care of. I've spoken with my current manager about it, and we've developed a system where he can call me out on the behavior since often I'm not aware of it. By bringing awareness to it at the moment, I find my propensity to hold onto control has decreased, so I'm certainly moving in the right direction."

"At this point in my career within healthcare services, my newness is my greatest weakness. To overcome this, I have committed to ten extra hours per week of study. I dive into various medical journals and spend a great deal of time educating myself beyond what my degree and internship have offered."

I can often get a little scatterbrained and have a tendency to overthink but it is fixable. I combat these tendencies by staying on task and planning ahead. This way I know how to handle any obstacles that may show.
Marcie's Feedback
Being scatterbrained and overthinking are two different weaknesses. Consider choosing just one and perhaps go with overthinking versus scatterbrained which sounds more negative. (Are there really any positives to being scatterbrained? Not really. But overthinking can potentially be seen in a positive light.) If you go with overthinking, you might also mention that you rely a lot on processes that you've previously developed so you can just follow steps and not get too caught up in thinking. Great job!!
