How do you answer 'Describe a situation in which you tried your hardest but failed' in a job interview?

In: Job Training and Career Qualifications [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

First, NEVER use the word failed.

Tell the interviewer what you LEARNED from the situation and how it taught you how to deal with the same (or similar) situation should it occur again.

Show that you accepted your "failure" as a part of life and a learning experience. DO NOT show that you are beating yourself up over it. Show that you learned from it and moved on.
