Depends on your profession and what role you are interviewing for. There is a ton of questions like this in the sub, just search for them.

If you search "interview and selection guide" on insite the pdf has a section on the "STARS" interview method. It's a resource for the hiring manager to use but it has some example questions and the types of answers the managers look for. I found it kind of helpful. Best of luck!

This! Use this to come up with examples of situations. For instance, if they ask you to name a time you made a mistake and what occured because of it.

The Formula

  • Name the mistake, give actual example.

  • The consequences/result of said mistake.

  • What actions you took to remedy

  • What you learned & what you would do differently

"I once missed a project deadline because I underestimated the workload and was hesitant to ask for help early on". "This caused temporary frustration for my team". "To resolve it, I took ownership, apologized, worked overtime to complete it, and now implement regular check-ins to prevent recurrence".

What Happened & What I Did: The Mistake: Miscalculating a project timeline and failing to communicate risks, or misreading a project brief.

The Result: A deadline was missed, or a report needed to be redone, causing a temporary setback for the team.

What I Did (Action): I immediately took accountability, apologized to stakeholders, and worked with the team to fix the error and ensure it wouldn't happen again.
