What was your biggest defeat so far?


The key here is to turn your defeat into a victory at the end. So, reach the climax of the story where you face defeat, but then finish by talking about how you tried again, persevered, took a new approach, etc. and eventually achieved a big victory. Alternatively, finish by saying what you've learned, how much stronger it has made you in x category, or how you always use this as a reminder to do x.



during working with my father once i did the deal wronged because of procrastination that was the biggest defeated for me at the starting of my career
but latter i correct my mistake and the meeting went well but i lost my tour oppotunity
When I was working on a task but I didn;t addressed a mistake that i knew while I was working on the same, later my manager asked me that due to some silly mistakes by my end, the output got all rugged and pointless


realising that my ambitions are sometimes above my abilities and that I need to stick to grinding the work out to get there
Meine größte Niederlage war meine eigene Bequemlichkeit während des Abiturs. Ich hatte die Fähigkeiten und das Potenzial für einen deutlich besseren Schnitt, aber ich war in der entscheidenden Phase zu faul, habe mich zu oft auf kurzfristige Motivation verlassen und keine Struktur aufgebaut. Das hat letztlich zu einem 2,3er Abischnitt geführt – ein Ergebnis, das meinem wahren Leistungsvermögen nicht gerecht wird. Heute weiß ich: Disziplin schlägt Talent, und genau das habe ich aus dieser Zeit gelernt
