Description: "So, tell us about a time where you made a mistake." This is a very uncomfortable interview question. I mean, who likes talking about their own mistakes? And especially in a job interview, when you're trying to do your best to show yourself as the ideal candidate. How do you answer it? Do you say: "I never make mistakes"? Or maybe: "I made a huge, careless blunder which nearly ruined the company and I got fired." Hmm, maybe there's a better approach: - Admit to your mistake - Explain how you communicated it - How you helped repair the damage There's a lot more covered in the video, including some practical real-life examples.
