This question is a great opportunity to put a positive spin on something negative. Don't answer the interviewer with something clichà "“ joking or not. Instead, try to use a real example of a weakness you have learned to overcome. Choose a skill as your weakness as you can learn skills. Avoid describing a characteristic as your weakness as it is harder to change someone.

"I've never been very comfortable with public speaking. Realizing this was a problem, I asked my previous employer if I could work the front desk to increase the interaction I would have with patients. Since then, my public speaking has improved, I've learned my job even better and my customer service skills are always improving."
