"My greatest weakness is not being able to say no. I've been working on letting people know that I can help them but not right at that second. This gives me time to work on my own work as well as provide a healthy boundary with my colleagues."

This is one of the most common interview answers so you need to have this one memorized. Don't choose a weakness that will make the interviewer hesitant to hire you but a weakness that can be improved upon to make it a strength.

"My greatest weakness as a Physical Therapist Assistant is being able to say no. I always want to help but I've found that its a great way to put too much on my plate. I'm working on saying no to helping at that moment but offering to help once I've completed my own tasks."

My greatest weakness is being able to say no. I tend to put others before myself because I have a big heart. As I have gotten older, I've realized that I need to take care of myself before taking care of others.
