"I would say my greatest weakness is learning how to pace myself. In the past, I would take on more than I could handle and would over-promise and under-deliver. So I adjusted this but swung too hard in the other direction. I focused on my time management skills and planned to always deliver ahead of the deadline, give myself extra time to do extras, and go the extra mile. But I didn't always accomplish what I'd set out to. My mentor regularly reminds me that my ambition, although it is a strength, often is also my Achilles heel. Finding that balance, and going easier on myself in the process, is where I still have a little room to grow."

Rather than labeling them as weaknesses, reframe them as growth opportunities. This mindset reflects someone who is emotionally intelligent and takes responsibility and ownership of their own development. When thinking of growth opportunities worth volunteering in your interview, avoid offering any which are core competencies of the job, or those which might present you as a risk or a liability. Instead, consider areas where you have already made progress and improved upon, but recognize there is still room for improvement.
