⟩ Explain me about a time when things didn't go the way you wanted--like a promotion you wanted and didn't get, or a project that didn't turn out how you had hoped?
It's a simple question that says so much. Candidates may say they understand the importance of working as a team, but that doesn't mean they actually know how to work as a team. We need self-starters that will view their position as a partnership.
Answers tend to fall into three basic categories:
1) blame,
2) self-deprecation, or
3) opportunity for growth.
