How to answer: "What's your greatest weakness?"
Acing the "What's your greatest weakness?" question during an interview can be a bit tricky, but with the right approach, you can show off your strengths and steer the conversation in a positive direction.
Nail your answers by following these three points. Show your interviewer that you're a proactive, self-aware go-getter committed to personal growth.?
Hiring managers and interviewers are often looking for answers to questions like?
"Are you stronger than your competition?",
"Should I pick you over other candidates I've interviewed?",
and "Will you need additional training to be successful in this job?"?
And lastly, a question that is essential for both employees and candidates to ask themselves is -- "Am I part of the problem or part of the solution?"
In the context of an interview, the question becomes, "Will you be a source of problems or a valuable asset to the team?" This reflection helps us understand the impact we have on our work and assess areas for growth and improvement.

Answering this question should not only help the interviewer assess you, but it should also be a way for you to self-assess and think about what you can improve on. So, take a moment to internalize what your weakness really is and how you are working on it.. before your next interview.
