What are your weaknesses?

When asked in a job interview about your weaknesses, you can pivot your answer
to also discuss the steps you're taking to improve on your weakness and turn it
into a strength. Examples of weaknesses you might want to cite during your
interview include:

 Getting caught up in details


 Unable to let go of projects
 Trouble saying “no” to others
 Managing missed deadlines
 Little experience in certain areas
 Lacking confidence at times
 Difficulty asking for help
 Working with certain personalities
 Maintaining a work-life balance
 Requiring specificity
 One area I have identified as a weakness for improvement is my

tendency to have difficulty saying no. I am naturally inclined to be

supportive and helpful, so it can sometimes lead me to take on more

responsibilities than I can handle.

 I have been working on this weakness by implementing strategies to

better manage my commitments and set realistic boundaries. For

example, I have been proactive in assessing my current workload

before adding any additional tasks or projects.
