How to Answer
This scenario is designed to gauge your maturity level at work. We've all done something wrong at one time or another, and how you handle correction and feedback says a lot about you. Try to think of a time when you were corrected for a small mistake, and how you overcame the fact that someone pointed out something you did wrong.

Answer Example
"I remember when I was first learning how to weld, I thought that I could just grab a welding helmet. I didn't realize at the time that we had both types of welding helmets on hand. A coworker quickly pointed out that I was wearing the wrong helmet for the job. At first, I wasn't sure what he meant because I was wearing a helmet. I stopped welding immediately and gave him a chance to explain that I was just wearing the wrong type. I immediately corrected my mistake and made sure that in the future I always chose the correct helmet for the job. I also made a point to thank him because he could have saved me from an injury."
