It’s not about weakness it’s about how you handle it. And usually something not crucial for the job you are looking for.
I've always said something fairly innocuous about having to work at time management. It doesn't seem to have hurt me. I honestly don't know that there's any silver bullet answer for that question, though it's obviously best to veer away from any flaws that might be alarming to an interviewer.
Pick a soft skill that you struggled with and talk about how you worked through it. Communication, problem solving, or teamwork, something that isn’t make or break to the role. Do you tell the truth in those? I used to, but came to realize it’s more a question to see how you tackle problems.
I haven’t gotten this question in an interview, but in my annual reviews I’ve been able to admit that I get stuck in the details sometimes instead of being able to easily zoom out, and it hasn’t stopped me from getting a promotion. Probably because I can recognize it and note that I’m working on it.
