Before your interview, spend some time reading the job description and think about elements of the position that may be difficult for you. During the interview, be honest about your weaknesses, but show the interviewer that you are already aware of these weaknesses and have developed a plan to move beyond them. This will tell the interviewer that you are self-aware and actively seek to become a better employee. The example answer is for a software engineering position.

"I've used Python, Go, HTML, and JavaScript before and I know those languages pretty well. I noticed the job description also listed familiarity with VAST and VPAID standards, which I have not yet worked with. However, I've read a couple articles online to get familiar with the concept, and because I'm a quick learner, I know I'll be able to learn how to incorporate these standards into my work."
