It is only a problem if you start to cover up things or try to hide things. If you cannot explain how you dealt with and learned from a mistake, you should probably do some more self-reflection just simply to grow as a human being. Deception or lying is not the way to deal with it, especially as it will almost certainly be uncovered, and that is 100 times worse than the reality. | |

Yeah, if you reflect and more importantly acknowledge your mistake and show you took steps for improvement - call me crazy but that sounds awful lot like problem solving right there. Right off the start I would love to hear from such candidate how he or she tackled the issue. | |

Without any spinning, covering up, having to double think, he can just be forward, open and display the ability to self improve etc. | |

Even better, since OP mentioned changes he made with regards to OPs situation in past couple of months, if it were me, it would be a lesson learned and I could potentially used it to spin positive - there was a problem, trouble, here's what I did to resolve the issues that caused that, here's what I learnt and here's how I would handle it differently now that I had time to reflect on it :) | |
