Q:

What is your biggest failure to date?

Answer

The most important thing to remember when answering this question is that it really is not about what you did wrong. It's about how you handled a difficult situation and what you learned from it. Describe your biggest failure and discuss what you've learned from it and ideally how you've been successful because of that lesson.The real reason why interviewers ask about your biggest failure is that it reveals a lot about your ability


- to take risks
- face challenges
- acknowledge your mistakes and
- learn from them.
