The weakness question

Everyone has a weakness. A weakness is a deficient skill that you have or need to improve. A weakness is not a character flaw. Be honest and always use an example that is NOT job-related. Always describe the weakness in the past tense and discuss briefly how you have improved. Avoid trite answers such as, I am a perfectionist.
Good and bad answers

"I do such a good job that it makes everyone else envious of how great I am. "I've never been in a position with enough influence to do any damage, so I'm not sure. My greatest weakness would have to be speaking in public. I don't think it's something that comes naturally to me, so I've taken courses X and Y to get some practice, as well as put myself in situations where I was forced to improve."
