In the banking industry, even a small mistake can make a massive impact on business operations. How you react to an error made will tell the interviewer a great deal about you and your honesty level.

Perhaps the mistake is one that could land you in a lot of trouble. The hiring authority at Credit Union 1 wants to know if you would try to hide the incident, or if you would tell your manager before the situation went beyond repair. Of course, the best way to answer this question is to show accountability.

"I can be my toughest critic when it comes to making mistakes. If I made an error, I would tell my manager right away. If a manager were not available, I would bring the situation to the attention of a co-worker capable of helping me fix the issue. Even being pennies off in a day can make a big impact so you can rest assured that I will deliver perfection."
