"A weakness of mine is my public speaking skills. I enjoy and do very well with one on one counseling sessions but speaking in front of a large crowd of people makes me pretty nervous. I've had the opportunity to speak to groups of 5 and 6 people at work on various topics so I'm getting more comfortable and proficient with my public speaking skills."

Skip the fake answers like 'I care too much about my job' or 'I'm a perfectionist' the interviewer has heard those before. Briefly, describe a real weakness that wouldn't be a major handicap on the job.

" I think one area I could work on is my delegation skills. I am always so concerned about everything being done right and on time that I can get stuck in that mentality that if you want it done right you need to do it yourself. I learned this recently when given the opportunity to manage a large project at work. It definitely taught me how to delegate and my manager noticed the difference in my management style by the end of the year."

Contacting new people when I am making a request; i.e. employers is stressful. If feasible, I make first contact via email or text. Otherwise, first contact is most commonly a phone call. I write a script for the opening comments. I often read it before dialing, rather than during the call; it organizes my mind.
Stephanie's Feedback
You do a good job of identifying a growth edge and illustrating what you are doing to improve (for example creating a script, etc.) It may be helpful to create a simple closing sentence, such as, "Although initial outreach to new employers is a bit stressful for me, I am working to improve in this area because I understand how important this task is to be able to best serve the needs of my clients."
