Pick weaknesses that are 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 would say the area I need to focus on improving would be my Python proficiency. I am proficient, and it does not hinder my ability to do my job successfully, but it's certainly something that I need to work on improving. I recently registered for an online course which I begin next week."
