This question is asked to see if you are honest and upfront about a mistake you made and take responsibility for the error. Everyone makes mistakes at some time or another, and the interviewers understand that things happen. They do not want to hear you blame others, which shows a lack of accountability and character. When you tell the interviewers about a mistake, be honest, briefly describe the situation, and explain what you did to rectify it. Then, assure the interviewers that you learn from mistakes, so they will never happen again.

"I made a mistake about four months ago while working on a project. I was filing paperwork for my project manager and accidentally filed a stakeholder's file incorrectly. When my project manager went to retrieve the file, she could not find it and called me into her office. She was in somewhat of a panic because she was meeting with the stakeholder in 20 minutes and needed the file before the meeting. The stakeholder's last name was hyphenated, and I realized I had placed the file under the wrong letter of the alphabet. I quickly found the file and assured my project manager I would be more careful in the future."
