"At this point in my career, I would say that my greatest weakness lies in my lack of experience. My greatest strength is my clear and concise communication style and skills."
The interviewer wants to understand your perspective of yourself. Are you good at assessing your strengths and weaknesses? This is a great way for you to demonstrate to the interviewer your reflection of yourself. This is also another way to make yourself stand apart from the other candidates.
"My strengths are as follows: I am dependable and consider myself to be a team player. When someone else needs me, I am there - whether it's a patient or co-worker. I have been called after hours because a patient was not doing so well and I showed up to the ER immediately.
My weakness is that I have a Type A personality which stresses me out. I like for things to be a certain way and if a co-worker that I am working with is a bit too laid back, then I get annoyed. I am actively working on being patient with others as not everyone is going to be like me."

At this point in my life, I would say my greatest weakness is my lack of experience.
My greatest strength, however, is that I am extremely dependable- I am there when I am needed, regardless of whether it is a client or a co-worker.
Rachelle's Feedback
Workplace knowledge can be taught; however, the nature of dependability is much harder for a hiring authority to find. Nice response! Try including a quick point in regards to how you will strengthen your weakness (i.e., coursework, training, tutorials, reading).
