The answer for the above question should be clear and in the same time you have to present your weakness in a positive way, ,one day in an interview I answered as follow: (my weaknesses I am impatient but this may be help to accelerate the work and finished it in the meantime).

When answering questions about your strengths, focus on strengths you have that are required for the job. For example, if a job requires a lot of work on team projects, you might say that you are a clear communicator who can work with diverse groups of people.

for weakness part  , avoid weaknesses that would make you unfit for the job. For example, if the job requires a lot of technical skill, do not say that your weakness is technology. Also, no matter what weakness you select, try to put a positive spin on your answer.

 

For instance, you might say that you are working to improve a particular weakness, or explain how a weakness might be considered a strength (for example, if you are a bit too detail oriented, you can explain how this in fact helps you produce quality work).

I can say that I have many strengths in work just like being passionate, enthusiastic, well planned, a team player and I work attentively, efficiently an pro-actively in a complex manner. My weaknesses in work was when I failed to do the the work on time. I feel so undeserving because I haven't made it on time and when there are mistakes on the work I had accomplished, I feel so sorry for it. But, with my strengths and weaknesses, I can assure you that I am a passionate employee who can work productively and I will do my very best to the best that I can. I can work under pressure and see to it that I can contribute to the organization because I have mastered careful attention to detail and become adept in work with speed and accuracy.
