Tackling tricky interview topics requires more than just quick thinking, according to Madeline Mann, founder of career coaching business Self Made Millennial.
Candidates also need to demonstrate a capacity for self-reflection, she says.
Before going into a job interview, you should always be ready to share “specific examples from your professional career,” Mann says.
Most of these examples should reflect your professional achievements and positive qualities, but it’s equally important to have a couple “negative” scenarios in your back pocket, Mann says.
Two major questions that job seekers should prepare for are ‘Tell me about a time you had an interpersonal conflict’ and ‘Tell me about a time you failed,’ she says.
