What is your greatest weakness? What are you doing to improve it?
"Sometimes I have worked through my lunch break. I've come to realize that taking a break is necessary in order to not make mistakes. I've been better about taking a much-needed break and allowing my co-workers to take care of the patients while I am gone."
Preparing for this question requires a little bit of self-awareness and strategy. Focus on a weakness that you could possibly turn into a strength. Share something you are proactively working on improving. Tell the interviewer about a weakness and show how it has helped strengthen the ability to complete tasks and reach goals. Always share what you are learning or have learned from your weakness. This shows your interviewer that you are adaptable and willing to grow.
"Sometimes I move too quickly when completing a project under a deadline, and that's when I make mistakes. I have learned to slow down and plan out how I will use my time, setting benchmarks along the way so that I can check in to gauge my status on the project and see how far I am from reaching my goal."

My biggest weakness that I set out to improve for the past couple of years was to let go of things out of my control. I feel that recently this goal I set out has been realized with the advent of the whole global pandemic, which afterwards, I reacted a lot calmer than I did with much less seismic events in my life that occurred prior.
