Why should you not give examples that are directly related to core aspects of the job you are interviewing for?
Answer:
In terms of mistakes, give one that did not have a huge negative impact. The best examples are mistakes that are easily resolved. An example might be "I was working on a project late at night and there were a few typos. I was able to catch them when I looked at the project the next morning and I was able to fix it in time. However, now I always make sure check my work in the moment before I submit it no matter how late it is."
