When an interviewer asks about a mistake you made, they want to know that you are humble enough to admit you made an error. They also want to know what problem-solving skills you use to correct the mistake. Solving a problem with your crew shows you have leadership skills and that you work well with a team. Describe a time you made a mistake and how you enlisted your crew to help fix it. End your response on a positive note, and explain what you learned from your mistake.

"I made a mistake during my last project that I didn't catch until later. My crew and I were setting up formwork with a transit, and the transit must have been bumped. I made the mistake of not double-checking the transit, and our forms were not square. When I realized what happened, my crew and I had to redo the forms before the pour. I learned to double-check the transit before setting up forms and to remind everyone to take care when near the transit."
