What is your weakness?

Please don't ever, ever answer, I have none.
The interviewer knows no one is perfect with their work skills and qualifications. This doesn't mean that you provide the interviewer with a laundry list of your weakness. What you say or not say, may eliminate or move you closer to getting that job.

There are two ways to answer:

My weakness is that I'm a workaholic. When given a task to do, I want to make sure I finish it from A-Z. If that means I need to work overtime so be it. If it means occasionally working on a weekend, so be it. That is what I think my weakness is Mr. Interviewer.
Or:
State a weakness but follow up with the fact that you are doing something to improve the situation.
I know I need to improve on my computer skills, so I'm taking a computer class in the evening.
