"In a previous role, I made a mistake when working with a chemical. The chemical was intended to process for two hours and I mistakingly moved on to the next step of the testing after about 20 minutes. This error invalidated the end result of the testing and I ultimately needed to repeat the testing the next day. I informed the client that there was an error that caused a setback in the testing and that I would need an extra day. The client was very understanding. Ultimately, this mistake taught me to review all details in advance before running any testing to avoid rework."
