29. What is your greatest weakness? What are you doing to improve it?
How to Answer
Be honest about your answer. It is ok to share a real weakness you are actively working on, just be sure not to share something that would disqualify you for the job. Whatever your weakness, keep your answer positive. Growth is a good thing. Show that you can recognize areas of improvement within yourself and explain what you are doing to actively improve.

Answer Example
"I would say my greatest area for improvement would be prioritization. I feel like all of my work deserves utmost priority, and because of that, I can feel overwhelmed. Over time, however, I have become much better at placing certain projects on the back burner while focusing on the task at hand. It's been very helpful. I have also started using an online project software to keep track of deadlines. This has helped me to plan and prioritize my time on various projects and potential scheduling issues."
