Missing a deadline is never a great feeling; however, it has happened to the best of us! More than the details of the situation, the interviewer wants to know how you behaved throughout the instance. When answering this scenario-based question, take your time to walk the interviewer through a specific story-based example. Be sure to turn the situation into a positive at the end by showing how you resolved the situation and what you learned from the experience.

"Last year, while working for Company XYZ, I arranged for our sales team to have a booth a the ABC trade show in Atlanta. When the team arrived the day before the trade show started. They set up the booth only to realize they had only a dozen information brochures with them. Maintaining the brochure inventory was my responsibility, and I had failed to check how many were included before the booth shipped. I called a reputable printer in Atlanta, and I placed a rush order for 1,000 brochures to be delivered the same day. The sales team received the brochures before the trade show started, and everyone felt relieved that the crisis was averted. It was important in that moment that I remained calm and fixed the situation. Later, I apologised to the sales team for my oversight and then I created a trade show checklist to use for future events."
