QUESTION 11 OF 30

Tell me about a time when you made a mistake.

Be honest about your mistake, but avoid dwelling on the mistake's severity. Focus on what you learned from the mistake and how you have taken steps to avoid similar mistakes in the future. Try using the STAR - Situation, Task, Action, Result method of answering to keep your answer concise and positive.

"During a group project in my Design for Manufacturing class, I was given the task of drawing our roller on SolidWorks. I spent too much time trying to learn everything about SolidWorks and not actually drawing the roller, and we ended up missing the project's deadline and asking for an extension. Little did I realize that one of my project team members was an expert in SolidWorks and if I would have asked for help, I could have finished the drawing much more quickly. Now I make sure I gather my resources before burying myself in a task."
