      1st Answer Example

      "My biggest weakness as a writer is that it takes me longer to get a project started than some would like. As a freelance writer, I won't take on rush jobs because I need to think about what I am going to write and create my plan of action, before beginning. For some clients, they do not mind this approach at all; however, I will recommend another writer in my network should my process not be a fit for a particular client."

      2nd Answer Example

      "As a very busy writer, I believe my reluctance to edit long after my initial submission, would be my greatest weakness. As a creative, it is challenging to revisit a project long after it has gone to my client. With that said, I am a strong editor - it just isn't my favorite task."
