QUESTION 21 OF 26

What is your biggest weakness?

Preparing for this question requires a little bit of self-awareness and strategy. You don't want to share that you have trouble working with difficult people or that you struggle with recalling details of a conversation, as those are critical aspects of your role. What you do want to focus on is a weakness that you could possibly turn into a strength or share something that would not be detrimental to your role that you are working on improving.

"I have learned that I am a perfectionist and can sometimes spend more time than necessary on a task. However, I also know that when something is done, it is done correctly and I never miss deadlines. My perfectionism has pushed me to learn how to delegate more as I've learned that I can't do and take on everything myself."
