      What to Avoid

      Avoid answering this question with a lesson that is not scalable or repeatable. The most valuable lesson you have learned in your career should involve something that initially made a sizable positive change and offers potential for future value to the next company you work for.

      Additionally, avoid answers that are so specific or unique that they are unlikely to resonate with the interviewer. Offer an answer that is likely to be relatable.

      Answer Example

      "The biggest lesson I have learned is the power of carrying a humble spirit and an open mind. I have learned that the best possible ideas for any given solution can come from anywhere. It is not always my job to imagine the best solution. It is my job to seek ideas out and bridge them together in a cohesive fashion so that they can be understood, supported, engineered, and implemented in the best way possible."
