Can you tell us about a weakness?

The interviewer is looking for introspection and the ability for the candidate to demonstrate insight into possible weaknesses. This is not the place to spill the beans or to diss yourself. Come to the interview prepared with an honest answer that is not a deal-breaker for the interviewer such as 'I get overwhelmed easily. I have trouble being on time. I am sensitive to criticism.' The interviewer may read future difficulties into these answers. Your answer should include 'weaknesses' that are workable for the interviewer and the organization.
