Use a past job or career that has nothing to do with the job/industry you are interviewing for. Make up reasons you failed that are the opposite of qualities you need now, and how glad you are to have discovered your aptitude through that failure because it helped you find your calling.
I would suggest failure that you recovered from … say that I was bad at time management and used to do my deliverables at last minutes but with using time management tools and delegate to my team I have fully recovered from that. Somewhere along those lines and example
Don’t say your biggest failure is that you’re a perfectionist. Its over used
Actually that’s an overused answer to “what is your weakness”
My biggest failure is being in a job I love and not having a desire to move into management. I know it is the goal of many to go into management, however, I already spent a decade there. As I am managing my family and my household, I find my greatest desire is the remain in a career I love and excel at and being comfortable not trying to obtain the management position.
I don't have failure experience. I have area of improvement, learning events.
