This is the most common question that is asked in interviews, but this is also the most difficult to answer. Here are a few tips on how to answer:
First, cite what your weakness is and be honest. Do not make the mistake of boasting, “I am too meticulous” or the like. Try, “I am a speedy worker but there are times that the quality of my work is compromised.” Follow it up with examples. Make sure that you include how much you are aware of your mistakes and if possible, its effect on other people. Lastly, explain what you are doing to overcome this weakness.
