What is your first reaction when you do something wrong at work?

Even the most incredible Admin Assistant will make an error now and then. It is perfectly acceptable to admit that you made an error; however, how you react to a mistake made will tell the interviewer a great deal about you and your honesty level. Perhaps the mistake is one that could have landed you or your company in a lot of trouble. Would you try to hide the incident, or would you tell a supervisor right away, and have the situation rectified?

"I have very high expectations of myself, so when I do something wrong or make a mistake, I first work on finding a solution. If a solution were available, I would repair the issue, and then let my manager know what happened. If I could not fix the situation on my own, I would ask for help. I am independent, but I am never too proud to admit when I need a hand."
