Give an example of a time that your attention to detail helped to avoid a potential mistake on the job.

Strict attention to detail is a critical part of success on the engineering team at British Airways.

As you answer this question, try to think of a time when you can describe how detail oriented you were and what would have happened in that particular situation, if you were not. Make sure that your interviewer walks away from your time together confident in your ability to be as detailed in your work as possible by talking about how you take the necessary time to ensure that all of the detailed parts of your work are completed before moving on to the next task.
