Give me an example of a project that didn't work out well?

Introduction Everyone has a skeleton in his or her closet. Make sure you don't

place blame on you or your co-workers because it will just be your opinion and that's not what the interviewer is looking for. Your answer has no bearing on whether you will get the job or not. Think of a failure that happened early on in your career and discuss how you have bettered yourself since.

Introduction Describe a project you worked on and what the expected outcome

was. Then explain what really happened and that you learned from that

experience. This takes what is expected to be a negative answer and turns it

around into a positive one.

Introduction

Use these positive faults to help explain the reason your project did not work out.

"I have a tendency to take on a greater workload than I can always handle, but I'm working on this problem by delegating more of my task load."

Introduction

"With closing deadlines, I can be impatient, so now I'm identifying holdups that could cause a missed deadline."

These are not answers to the question, just reasons for project failure you can use in your answer.

Best answer

"Early on in my career, I tried to promise the world and thought I could get anything done in a short time.

As a result of my inexperience, I over-promised and missed a deadline. But I have since learned to prepare and plan for unforeseen events and now I deliver what I promise on time."

Optionally, you can go into a few specific details of the project that did not work out, but don't spend much time talking about things you did wrong.

End of answer
