One way to answer the question is something like this: “I know the company quite well, and I just don't think you'd be a good fit for each other. I'll look through all of our other open positions and see if there's a better match. In the meantime, you may want to consider doing X (something that provides either further credentials or additional experience)."

Most interviewees actually dread this question, and rightly so. Potential employers are well aware of the fact that job candidates are people; so knowing their faults allows them to get a bigger picture of that person.

Think carefully about this question. Everyone has a weakness, whether it is focusing too much on the details or always saying yes or prioritising smaller work projects. The best response should include a small, work-related flaw that won't mean that the interviewer's interest is terminated there and then. Be sure to include the efforts made to manage this 'fault' and turn it into something positive.
