Describe a time when you failed to achieve your goals and had to follow a different approach. What happened?

Remember one thing while answering this question- “Everyone fails”. Don’t try to hide your failures instead be ready to talk about it.

In my last organization my goal was to manage a project for our biggest client. I was so excited that I have estimated two weeks for that project. But that ended up taking three weeks and I have failed in doing time estimation. Clients were not happy with timelines. That day I have learnt that always add some extra days in your expectations. I took this experience and use this in my next project. I told clients to complete that in four weeks and we have completed before time. As a result, client is very happy to hear that.
