How to Answer the Tell Me About a Time You Failed Question

Episode 67 of Interview Prep with Fexingo breaks down the dreaded failure question — 'Tell me about a time you failed.' Lucas and Luna explain why this question is a staple in behavioral interviews, reveal what hiring managers actually look for, and walk through a specific structured answer using the STAR-L method. They analyze a real example from a product manager interview at a mid-sized tech company, showing how to frame failure as a learning moment without sounding defensive or fake. The episode also covers three common pitfalls: blaming others, picking a trivial failure, and getting too technical. By the end, listeners will have a concrete framework and a sample script they can adapt to their own experiences. Perfect for anyone preparing for a job interview or looking to improve their storytelling under pressure.
