For me to nail the "What's your biggest weakness" is to use something that's a negative that you'd like to improve upon, for instance saying something like:

"I would like more experience with public speaking, because I have struggled with that in the past"

or

"I could use more practice in memorizing excel formulas, I'm always having to look that information up on Google!"

or

"I would love to be better at managing myself under pressure, I would love an opportunity to produce work that is well thought out and not rushed"

Just for the love of gwad don't say "I would have to say I'm a complete perfectionist. I need to let the little details go." No hiring manager believes that even if it's the truth!
