Answer:
When interviewers ask you questions about things you would have done differently at work, they want to gain insight into your job-related weaknesses. They may also be attempting to determine how you respond to failure, and whether you can identify and address your shortcomings proactively.
If you think about this question ahead of time, you won’t find yourself swallowing hard and struggling to find an answer during your interview. The best approach is to know how to “spin” your answer so you can demonstrate how you’ve reflected upon and learned from past experiences.
When you're preparing a response, reflect on your past work experiences and make a list of situations that didn't turn out the way you would have liked. Think about the actions you took (or didn’t take), and how they resulted in a less-than-ideal outcome. Identify similar scenarios you encountered again after those initial disappointments, but where you performed differently. What did you learn from the negative result, and what did you do to strengthen your ability to handle similar situations in the future?
Answer and Explanation:
Have you ever being in a situation where you tried to do something you always excelled in previously but all of a sudden you just flopped?
This was my story on this day. As a child I was a pretty good dancer and everyone around loved watching me dance. Well, I was till my friends in high school made me enter into a dancing competition.
The music was good, the crowd was friendly to an extent but when I got to the stage all I could do was to sway from side to side. My friends kept on cheering me on. But I couldn't just help it. I eventually stopped trying when one of the judges asked me to get off the stage, that I had no business coming for the contest.
I felt like I had wasted everybody's time so while walking out of the building I had my eyes on the flow with my head bowed. I had never felt so embarrassed in my life.
