Pick one of your weaknesses that is not a necessity for the role. Be candid and humble in your answer recognizing that you really aren't great at something and acknowledging your need to improve. Be sure you have an action plan in place for improving on this weakness too. Perhaps you are watching TED Talks about the weakness, reading the latest-and-greatest book on the subject, or maybe you are taking a seminar at a nearby community center in the near future. We are all human and all have weaknesses, so don't be afraid to share yours!

"I consider X to be my greatest weakness but recently I have started watching some TED talks and reading some help books to overcome this weakness of mine. I have already started noticing some improvement but I understand its a long road ahead."

I'm not the kind of person who likes to run for office, so I was excited when this position came up. I think the work of the union is essential to the needs of the teacher, but I like to work behind the scenes. I think education is incredibly important and I love teaching, but I also want to advance in my career. I see being a staff member in the union as the best way for me to advance. It also fits in with my values.
