QUESTION 18 OF 30

What is your biggest weakness?

When answering this question, remember that the interviewer is not looking for someone that is perfect. They want someone who is insightful when it comes to their shortcomings. 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.

"Public speaking has always been a weakness of mine. I've asked my current supervisor to keep me in mind whenever there is an opportunity to address a group of people so I can work on making this one of my strengths."
