Website Upgrade Incoming - we're working on a new look (and speed!) standby while we finalise the project

Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi All,

 

I have been asked the following Question in an Interview. Can anyone suggest the best answer for this.

 

"Give an example of a mistake you have made when planning. What were the consequences? What did you learn from the episode?"

 

 

Thanks

Dwaraka,

Only you can answer that question; however, since this is supposed to be an interview question and catchy one, one of those "damned if you do and damned if you dont" type of questions, the best thing you can do is to answer honestly with a sense of humor, for example "If i tell you all the mistakes i made you might not hire me" then give him one example.

Regards,

Daniel
