How to Answer
Pick one of your weaknesses that is not a necessity for the role. Be candid and humble in your answer recognizing that you really aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure you have an action plan in place for improving on this weakness too. We are all human and all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours.

Answer Example
"A weakness that I am making progress on is overcommitting myself. I tend to take on too much in all areas of my life and it can really take a toll on me. Recently, I've been trying to say no to more things that are not a good fit and do not allow me to grow into the person I want to become. This allows for more balance in my life and more time for my top priorities. I've asked my mentor and my husband to keep me accountable with this and I check in with myself often too."
