Employers aren't trying to figure out if you're a mistake-free, perfect specimen, but are more concerned with how you resolve and grow from inevitable failures to come out on top. Don't fall into the trap of trivializing the question by responding with a minuscule mistake of little consequence in order to look good. Instead, pick a realistic situation and utilize the STAR method of interviewing. Explain the situation, highlight the task, clarify what action you took, and highlight the resolution to the problem.
