The interviewer wants to know that you know you're not perfect--nobody is! Everyone has flaws, and the interviewer wants to know what yours are.

Addressing minor flaws, which we all have. Maybe you overthink things sometimes or get overwhelmed with too many tasks. Whatever it may be, the most focus should be put on what you are doing to improve it. The key is knowing that you have flaws, recognizing them, and having an active plan to address them.

Stating something that would be completely detrimental to hire. For example, "I'm always late for work" or "I'm told I am not good with people" would not be advantageous!

"I sometimes get overwhelmed when I have too many tasks and struggle to prioritize them. When this happens, I talk to the people who assigned me the tasks so I can understand what is really a priority and what can wait. I tend to try to do everything at once and have learned that if I take it one step at a time, it alleviates my anxiety."
