7. In most jobs, employees regularly encounter moments of success as well as moments of struggle or failure. You have probably anticipated questions about your professional shortcomings and how you handle failure, and have focused on this type of question as you have prepared for interviews.
However, you might be surprised by questions about how you respond to success, and miss out on an important opportunity to impress your prospective employer.
