How I Handled a Tough Interview Question

Ever been caught off guard by an interview question? Last week, I was in the hot seat for a position I really wanted. The interviewer asked, "Describe a time you failed at work and how you handled it." My mind went blank for a second, and I felt the pressure building. After a deep breath, I shared a story from when I was 28, leading a project that missed its deadline. I explained how I took responsibility, communicated openly with my team, and worked overtime to get us back on track. It wasn’t easy to admit my mistakes, but I realized honesty and growth matter more than perfection. Have you ever faced a question that stumped you in an interview? How did you handle it?
