"Describe a situation in which you treated someone unfairly"

Hi there,

I would 100% avoid any situation in which you knew what you were doing in the time of the "crime".

Rather, it should absolutely be a hindsight point AND your answers needs to show that you rectified it.

This question is similar to "Initial Failure" or "Weakness". How? You're supposed to describe a failure/weakness/bad treatment that:

1. Isn't that bad in the first place
2. You resolved shortly afterwards
3. You learned from
4. Is not an issue anymore (and, even better, something great came out of it)

Hey there,

I second Ian's comment. In general, whenever there is something you should tell that displays you in a bad light, you need to make sure that there was no

• bad intentions from your side
• you fixed the situation quickly
• took some learnings for next time and it never happened again

Hi, I would recommend not mentioning some red-flag situations and always insert how you realized it was unfair in order to work on it and never let it happen again

Hi F,

My suggestion is to structure your answer in a way that shows that you:

• weren't completely aware of what you were doing
• with time realized it wasn't the best choice to treat this person badly
• can realize, face, and learn from your mistakes
• can be honest
• usually nice and friendly with people

Hope that helps|

Hello,

I would highly caution against divulging bad character traits.

Instead, I would identify situations where you did not fully understand either the situation, the indivual concerned, or the impact of your actions.

This way, you demonstrate insight and can tell of story of how you developed and grew as a professional following that situation.

Those are the questions behind the question: do you know how to treat people fairly and can you demonstrate that you grow from your mistakes.

Hope this helps,

Allen
