Thanks, man.

Yeah, it's understated but actually shows maturity and self-realisation which are very important factors.

I think of it like this: if you try and make out you're the perfect candidate and that you have no weaknesses, it's going to raise red flags. We all have weaknesses so it makes me think you are likely insecure or potentially trying to hide something.

If you say: "My weakest areas are ....... however I am trying to improve them by doing ......" it is so much better.
