Description

Welcome back to '5 Minutes to Flourish', where I share quick, actionable tips to enhance your work and well-being. Today, let's tackle this challenging interview question: "Tell me about a time you made a mistake." Interviewers don't ask this question to catch you off guard; they want to understand how you handle challenges, evaluate your self-awareness, and gauge your capacity to learn and grow.


Join me to discuss:

- How to choose the right mistake to share

- The framework for a compelling response

- Examples to help you craft your answer


Turn this tricky question into an opportunity to showcase your resilience and growth mindset. Keep your story structured, emphasizing learning and improvement.
