International Business Consultant Question:
Tell me what is your biggest failure?
Answer:
This question is also less common today.
However, be prepared with an answer that shows that you really did have a difficult learning experience—some sort of obstacle to overcome—and that you really did learn something from that experience and have integrated it into how you live today. This shows resiliency, and it’s a valuable attribute to have in Consulting. To put it mildly, not all Consulting projects come off easily and smoothly. The ability to “turn lemons into lemonade” can be an asset for you in your career and in your interview process.
