      Answer Example

      "My greatest weakness is balancing my work and family life. I work long hours and am often on call. I have a wife and two-year-old son, who are typically in bed when I get home. My wife talked with me and asked if I could try to rearrange my schedule or find a new employer with a schedule that would allow me to be home with them more often. I do identify this as an issue, and that is why I am applying to your organization. I like that you have a set schedule and that I would only be on call once a month. I have also started scheduling time with my family in my calendar, so I am more aware of taking the time to spend with them."
