Tell me about an event that did not go as planned.

Be sure to take responsibility for the situation and explain what you did to prevent it from happening again. For example, if there was a lack of communication, describe a similar situation in which you improved the communication between departments.

"We had an event for 150 people, and the host forgot the seating chart. As confusing as it was, I had two employees at the ballroom doors assisting guests to their seats. The event was delayed by 30 minutes, but the client was appreciative that we adjusted."
