HI Ink,

The 1st question seems simple enuff. Just go ahead and discuss a time you missed a deadline, but the 2nd questin is where you've gotta shine. The second asks you for the repercussions right? Go ahead and state what happened, in terms of how your boss(es) handled it, did u get a query, reprimand or what but then go into what you learned personally from it. At this point you need to emphasize the lessons you took away from that failed deadline. This will make you come across as someone who's constantly learning and trying to improve on his/her abilities.
Hope that helps.

Best wishes wink

Perfect! To add to it: u can go a step further and state how u overcame similar situations later with the lessons learnt. Do u know what this means?

You ARE SOMEONE WHO NOT ONLY LEARNS FROM PREVIOUS MISTAKES BUT APPLIES SUCH KNOWLEDGE TO SOLVE FUTURE CHALLENGES. My dear of what use is knowledge if not applied
