This is a common interview question to be asked. The interviewer wants to see that you are self-aware and have identified an area you could improve. Describe your weakness as something that will not prohibit you from being offered the job but one that is relevant to your profession. Once you describe your weakness, explain what steps you have taken to turn your weakness into a strength.

"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."
