This type of question is often asked in interviews, but sometimes it is a general question and not specific to the job. When answering, describe your weakness, then add what you are doing to make that weakness a strength. Turn your answer into a positive rather than a negative answer.

"My greatest weakness as an EMT is my lack of directional awareness. Many times I do not know if I am going north or south. I have relied on GPS for so long that I never learned my directions really well. But I am working on fixing that. On my days off, I drive the district with a friend. They will give me a destination, and I have to get them there using a map. This has also helped me learn the street names and which streets are one-way only in my district."
