What is the greatest weakness you would bring to this team at Quest Diagnostics?

"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."
