Then all of a sudden there was a tremendous explosion of oaths and other noises—the chair and table went over in a lump, a clash

of steel followed, and then a cry of pain, and the next instant I saw Black Dog in full flight, and the captain hotly pursuing, both with drawn cutlasses, and the former streaming blood from the left shoulder. Just at the door the captain aimed at the fugitive one last tremendous cut, which would certainly have split him to the chine had it not been intercepted by our big signboard of Admiral Benbow. You may see the notch on the lower side of the frame to this day.

“What would you consider your greatest weakness in a job interview ”
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Saying something that is more a positive aspect rather than a negative one is very overused and will be seen as avoiding the question nowadays, employers look for people who will admit to their weakness and their incapabilities, they'd rather hire someone who's self aware and tells so than someone who says something that'd make it look like you don't really have a weakness. Don't make it too terrible of a weakness though, say something like: I can be forgetful sometimes.
