As you applied for and were invited to interview for this role as a Corporate Trainer, your interviewer has a very good sense of your strengths from your resume. Your interviewer is also aware that every candidate that they interview has weaknesses that show up in their professional life. If asked a question like this during your interview, remember that it is not meant to place focus on the ways you are weak or unskilled. The purpose of the question is for your interviewer to see if you are a future employee that has a strong character and who is working to improve professionally. Your interviewer also wants to ensure that your biggest weakness is not a vital part of your role as a Corporate Trainer with their organization. Pick one weakness and be sure you have an action plan in place for improvement. Be prepared to communicate your weakness without embarrassment. You should also clearly demonstrate how the lessons you learned and your effort to improve will add value to this organization.

"From the very start of my career in corporate training, I was always very nervous speaking in front of a large group of people. To this day, I can honestly say that I'm not in my prime comfort zone when in this position, but it has been something that I have been working on over the last ten years. Early in my career, I was coached by my director, and I've also taken an online course on public speaking as recently as three years ago. I also listened to Dale Carnegie's 'The Art of Public Speaking.' All of these have helped to continue to build my confidence when speaking in front of a large group."
