      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      The interviewer wants to hear that you have identified an area where you could improve a particular skill. Be sure to have an action plan to improve this weakness, showing you have the desire to grow professionally.

      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!

      Focus Your Answer On

      Focus on a weakness related to your profession, but not one that is an essential job duty. For example, suppose you say your weakness is your verbal communication skills. In that case, the interviewer may pass you over for another candidate since that skill is an essential skill needed in the healthcare industry.

      2nd Answer Example

      "My greatest weakness is my typing speed. I can type 40 words per minute, which is average. However, my goal is to get to 60 words per minute. I signed up for an online typing course and started one week ago. The course outline says I can go from amateur to pro in thirty days, spending one hour a day practicing. In the next thirty days, I aim to be at 60 words per minute."

      "My weakness is mainly around excel and reporting. I feel that I would need to go on a course or something similar."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      Rather than stating what you need to do, the interviewer is looking for steps that you have already taken. I recommend a more actionable answer and have provided an example below.
      "My greatest weakness is surrounding Excel and reporting. I have subscribed to a reputable YouTube channel and am taking some online tutorials on Excel through this resource. I must improve so; next, I will be taking an Intermediate Excel course at a local community college."
