When answering the weakness question,  weakness should be turned into a strength. For instance, you can express how  workaholic you are: how hard balancing your  time with work. You can add that this might not be a trouble for any boss.Diplomatic answer.Such a question is a double-edge one so pay attention!

What is weakness ? the only weakness I know when you do something bad to some one because you are afraid of something or some one , even this can be handled , nothing called weakness , the brain just  feel that it is the right thing to do , and if you feel that this thing will not helping you will be very strong

 

If you mean weakness at your field , that can be handled with the time and learn , you will not be the weakest one all the time  

 

may be there is something called weakness mode , and that need some help from a friend you like , just go to visit that friend and you will be in a good mode

 

I am sorry may be there is another weakness but I don't Know
