Tell me about a time you made a mistake at work or in school. What happened next?

How to approach it

This checks whether the candidate can honestly own their mistakes, fix them quickly and openly, and draw specific conclusions from them rather than a generic "I'll be more careful". For a junior this is the key signal: they're safe to work with because they don't hide problems.
