QUESTION #22 - Looking back, what would you do differently in your life?



TRAPS: This question is usually asked to uncover any life influencing mistakes; regrets, disappointments or problems that may continue to affect your personality and performance. You do not want to give the interviewer anything negative to remember you by, such as some great personal or career disappointment, even long ago, which you wish you could have avoided. Nor do you wish to give any answer, which may hint that your whole heart and soul will not be in your work.

BEST ANSWER: Indicate that you are a happy, fulfilled, optimistic person and that, in general, you wouldn't change a thing.

Example: "It's been a good life, rich in learning and experience, and the best is yet to come.  Every experience in life is a lesson in its own way.  I wouldn't change a thing”.
