How to Answer
Interviewers ask this question to see that you are self-aware and can identify an area that can be improved upon and what steps you are taking to make your weakness a strength. Identify a weakness relevant to the job, but one that will not hinder you from being offered the position or succeeding in the role. Be sure to end your response with the positive steps you are taking to improve yourself.

Answer Example
"My greatest weakness is delegating tasks to others. I am very independent and feel that I need to do every task myself. I realize this can be a problem when others want to help, and I have been told by previous coworkers they feel like I don't trust them to assist me. I understand in the field of vascular technology I mostly work independently. But, in the future, I would like to work in management and I will need to learn to delegate tasks. What I am doing to improve this is I enrolled in a management workshop that will teach me how to delegate and be a successful manager."
