This is another commonly asked interview question, and it is best to have an answer prepared. The interviewer wants to see that you are self-aware and can identify an area that can be improved and take action to do that. Describe a weakness relevant to the position but not one that would be a deal-breaker to the employer. When answering, identify the weakness, explain what you are doing to improve it, and end on a positive note by describing how you are turning the weakness into a strength.

"My greatest weakness is that I tend to have a hard time delegating tasks to others. It's not that I don't feel like others can complete tasks to my liking, but I am an independent person and am used to doing everything by myself. I have identified this as a weakness and have enrolled in a leadership course, where I am learning to determine others' strengths and delegate tasks accordingly. I have found it to be relatively easy and am learning a lot about effective leadership."
