Just as an interviewer may ask about your greatest strength, they will also likely ask about your greatest weakness. The interviewer asks this question to see that you are self-aware and humble enough to admit that you have an area that could use improvement. Everyone has weaknesses, and what you do to improve shows the interviewer that you are proactive and set goals to turn that weakness into a strength. Describe your weakness and the measures you are taking to improve.

Avoid describing a weakness that would keep you from successfully performing your job. For example, if you say that you do not work well with others, the interviewer will see that as a deal-breaker since you need to be a team player in the roofing industry. Choose a weakness that will not interfere with being a great employee.

"My greatest weakness is my lack of experience installing tile and slate roofing. My experience as a Roofer has been installing roofing on commercial buildings, but I would like to be more well-rounded. That is why I am excited to be interviewing with your company since you offer on-the-job training in installing other types of roofing material. I want to turn my weakness into a strength, and I see that is possible with your company."
