What should you avoid when describing how you handled a difficult situation?
scapegoating others

describing your initial ignorance
telling how you needed help
When describing how you handled a difficult situation, you should avoid scapegoating others. This approach can come across as unprofessional and may suggest that you lack accountability or the ability to take responsibility for your actions. Instead, focus on your own contributions to resolving the situation, what you learned, and how you grew from the experience.
