My Premium Resume Package: https://jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/premium-resume-package Taking control of interview questions is not something job seekers are comfortable with, so in this video, I share 3 advanced tips to do just that for the interview question Tell Me About a Time You Failed along with a strong Sample Answer πͺ π‘ Tell Me About a Time You Failed, or Tell Me About a time You Made a Mistake, are both trying to figure out how self-aware you are, whether you're able to admit to mistakes, and your willingness to improve. However, many candidates fail to see that "failure" or "mistakes" are extremely ambiguous, it's often up to the interviewees themselves to define what a failure or mistake means to THEM I also share a real example from when I joined the Product Marketing team so you can see how I would answer "tell me about a time you failed" in real life. As you will see in my example mistake, I am very honest about what transpired, I take full responsibility, and most importantly, I share learnings and what I would do next time in a similar situation β TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:43 The Basics 01:20 Pro Tip #1 - Define Failure 02:27 Pro Tip #2 - Focus on One Thing 03:15 Pro Tip #3 - End with a Learning 04:02 Sample Answer πͺ Support this channel by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwAnu01qlnVg1Ai2AbtTMaA/join RESOURCES I MENTION IN THE VIDEO CARL Interview Method - https://youtu.be/gZ2354BH0a0 Common Interview Questions and Answers - https://youtu.be/es7XtrloDIQ?list=PLo-kPya_Ww2wLc0USlqpuN_OAtJjc6qoP MY FAVORITE GEAR π₯ My YouTube Gear - https://geni.us/youtube-gear π What's In My Bag - https://geni.us/mybag π» What's On My Desk - https://geni.us/mydesk π© What I Travel With - https://geni.us/mytravel MY FAVORITE SOFTWARE βοΈ Skillshare - https://geni.us/skillshare-jeff π¨ Canva - https://partner.canva.com/jeffsu BE MY FRIEND: π§ Subscribe to my Productivity newsletter - https://www.jeffsu.org/productivity-ping/ πΈ Instagram - https://instagram.com/j.sushie π€ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsu05/ ππ» Clubhouse - https://www.joinclubhouse.com/@jsushie π¨π»βπ» WHO AM I: I'm Jeff, a full time Product Marketer.
