"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!"

"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 definitely 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."

You want to pick a weakness that is not a core skill for this position with Quest Diagnostics. You can be candid in your answer, recognizing that you aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. 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 taking a seminar at a nearby community center. We are all human with our weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!
