The interviewers want to hear what you would like to improve as a physiotherapist to see that you are self-aware and can identify an area that needs improvement. When you admit you have a deficiency in a particular aspect of your profession and take steps to enhance it, it shows the interviewer that you are motivated and inspired to grow professionally. When responding, be sure to talk about a skill or characteristic you would like to improve that is related to your profession but not one that will be a deal-breaker for the role. For example, if you say you would like to improve your bedside manner as you are a little curt with your patients, the interviewers may pass you over for another candidate.

"It hasn't been essential for my profession to date, but I want to become fluent in Polish. My grandfather is from Poland, and I grew up speaking some Polish. However, as an adult, I have not used it much. I see that you have more Polish patients than where I previously worked. It would be incredible to speak directly to my Polish-speaking patients without an interpreter, so I have signed up with an online tutor who has been meeting with me twice a week. At the rate I am going, he said I should be fluent by next month."
