Tell us about an area in your last job where you feel you could have performed better.

Not many of us are perfect so you will probably be able to think of some area to discuss in your answer fairly easily. Make sure that it does not show you to be a failure though. If you had a total disaster in some area of your work that stopped production for days or ruined a big project, don’t bring these examples up unless you can make a lot of how you learned from the experience so that it will never happen again. The best answers will include some element of going one step back to end up two steps further on. If you found a way to shorten a process, increase the efficiency of the department or better serve your clients, then these would all be good examples to give to show you as a candidate who strives to improve.
