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 to improve this weakness. The interviewer wants to know that you are taking steps to turn this weakness into a strength.
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 are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!

"I believe I could improve 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!"

Focus on using a weakness that will not hinder your chances of being offered the job. If you describe your weakness as your verbal communication skills and you are interviewing for a healthcare position, the interviewer may pass you over for another candidate.

"My greatest weakness is my lack of experience in this field. I graduated from nursing school last week, so I am new to this industry. I have practical experience from my training but am looking for more hands-on experience. I know I will gain experience quickly once I get hired by Providence."
