Does your car insurance cover what really matters?

Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to find the coverage you actually need.

The Remote Edge: How to Answer "Tell Me About a Time You Failed"

This is one of the most dreaded interview questions, but it's a golden opportunity to show self-awareness, resilience, and a growth mindset. Here’s a simple framework to ace it:

1. Set the Scene (Briefly):

Start by outlining the situation and your role in it. Don't spend too much time here; the focus should be on what you learned.

Example: "In my previous role, I was responsible for launching a new marketing campaign. I was confident in my strategy, but I overlooked a key detail in the audience targeting."

2. Own the Failure:

Clearly and concisely state what went wrong and take responsibility. Don't blame others or make excuses.

Example: "As a result, the campaign's engagement was significantly lower than projected, and we didn't hit our lead generation goals. It was my responsibility for not double-checking the data."

3. Show What You Learned:

This is the most crucial part. Explain what you learned from the experience and what you did to correct the mistake or what you would do differently now.

Example: "I learned the importance of cross-verification for all campaign data. I immediately implemented a new pre-launch checklist that involved a peer review of all audience parameters. We used this process for all subsequent campaigns, which helped increase our lead quality by 15%."

By using this framework, you can turn a question about failure into a story of growth and competence.
