• “Yes you're right. That's an important element to consider”
• “Yes, that's also an important point to consider"

Psychologically by adding a “yes” at the front, it creates a positive spin and dilutes the fact that you missed out something, or said something wrong - at least in my opinion.

Avoid saying things like “Ohh yea, I missed that, etc. etc.”. This reinforces that you missed something.

Hi there,

Anything along the lines of “Ah! Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, x is indeed y, which means xxx”

If you've noticed the mistake or understand their correction, all they need from you is a clear awareness of that, a visible course correction, and a smooth/confident transition.

Simple as that!

Always remember what they're looking for:

"Someone who can approach a complicated problem and think + communicate in a structured way in the right context+objective of the case, while being personable, adaptable, and coachable, so that, ultimately, the interviewer can see themselves working with this individual and putting them in front of a client."

Hello,

There isn't an answer that can work in any case. The important aspects to keep in mind are:

• State clearly that you accept the correction ( “Of course, I agree with you that we should have…” )
   
• Try to argument the correction, showing that you have fully understood what you did wrong and how to crack the problem ( “Our previous assumption did not consider the peak and we were underestimating the FTEs needed, now we can focus our attention on the peak for our sizing calculating…” )
   
• Try to justify why you didn't consider that before only if there is a chance for the interviewer to believe that you were gonna consider it later or that it was fair to make a different assumption ( “Yes, I was gonna consider the occupancy later dividing the number of FTEs needed by the occupancy but I agree with you that it's more clear to do it when we calculate the capacity of a single FTE” )

Feel free to text me if you want to discuss this further.

Hope it helps,
Luca

"Thanks so much for pointing that out, let me see how to incorporate that into my answer"

Hi!

Great advice by the other coaches.

I don't have much else to add here :)

Best,

Great question! There are many ways to do this -  the key is to show that you politely accept the correction and understand its implications. So something like “Got it, thank you! So XYZ, which means ABC…” would work.
