Question
Back to all questions

Have you ever done something professionally, risked a lot, and failed? What was it? What made you take the risk, and what did you take away from it?

Medium Difficulty

Medium questions delve deeper, challenging you to apply your knowledge to common scenarios. They test your ability to think on your feet and adapt your basic skills to real-world contexts.

Behavioral question

Behavioral questions assess how you've handled past situations, providing insight into your experience and personal qualities. Reflect on real examples from your history to demonstrate your skills and character.

Here's a Hint

Google seems to love innovation, and with innovation comes risks. So, when google finds a creative person, it is appreciative and respectful of the courage to do something no one else would. There should be something to help that next effort succeed in future endeavors. Share a genuine experience where you took a professional risk that didn't pan out as expected. Be honest about your motivations for taking the risk, whether it was a perceived opportunity or a desire to innovate. Emphasize the lessons learned and how that experience shaped your subsequent decisions or strategies.
