Think about an area that has been pointed out to you as needing improvement. Discuss a growth opportunity and how working on improving in that specific area would make you a better employee. Most importantly, talk about what your action plan is to work on this growth opportunity.

"I would say that my greatest weakness is delegating work out to my peers when I have an unusually large workload. At times I feel that I have built such a great working relationship with my clients and that they trust me to complete their testing which makes it hard for me to pass it over to anyone else. I realize that by not delegating my tasks to my coworkers, I am overworking myself and setting myself up to make mistakes due to having to rush my work. I also am aware that delegating tasks to my coworkers, would be giving them an opportunity to learn the testing for additional clients. I am actively working on this area of improvement."
