Tell me about a time your manager wasn't satisfied with the results of your work. How did you discuss the issues and what did you do differently the next time?
How to answer this question.
When responding to this question, it is important to focus on the positive and show that you learn from mistakes.
I once worked on a project for my manager that didn't turn out as expected. When I presented the results to my manager, they were not happy with the outcome. We discussed the issues together, and I took responsibility for the mistakes I had made. I then took the time to go over the project with my manager step-by-step, so I could understand where I had gone wrong. I was able to identify my mistakes and take action to ensure that I wouldn't make the same mistakes again. I also asked for feedback from my manager, so I could make sure I was on the right track. The next time I worked on a similar project, I was able to apply the new knowledge I had gained and I was able to deliver a successful outcome.
