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

In this episode of Interview Prep with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna tackle one of the most dreaded behavioral questions: 'Tell me about a time you failed.' They break down why interviewers ask this, what a good failure story looks like, and how to structure your answer using the CAR framework (Context, Action, Result). Lucas shares a specific example from his own career as a business journalist, where a project missed its mark due to overconfidence in assumptions. Luna challenges him on striking the right balance between accountability and self-deprecation. They also discuss common pitfalls like choosing a failure that's too trivial or too catastrophic. By the end, you'll have a clear template for crafting a failure story that shows self-awareness and growth without damaging your candidacy. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #InterviewPrep #JobInterview #BehavioralInterview #FailureQuestion #HiringManager #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #InterviewTips #CARMethod #SelfAwareness #ProfessionalGrowth #JobInterviewTips #CareerDevelopment #InterviewSkills #JobHunt Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
