Tell me about a mistake you made at work. How did you handle it?

"I sent an email at work without proofing it and later realized that two people were copied who were not supposed to know the information I shared. As soon as I noticed, I spoke to my boss and asked what I needed to do to resolve the situation. At that point, I could only apologize and learn from my mistake. Since then, I have been meticulous in double-checking everything, whether it is an email, report, or checking my rig at shift change."

"I once made the mistake of telling a coworker that I could cover their shift without looking in my calendar first. The following day, I went to add the shift to my calendar and realized I had a wedding to attend that day. Since I had already agreed to cover the shift, I couldn't tell my coworker I was backing out. I called some other coworkers and found one of them to work the shift. After that, I always check my calendar before agreeing to cover a shift."
