      Hi,

      Thanks for your question. I am fairly new to my job and so have been known to make mistakes and when you are trying hard to impress someone that can be embarrassing. Yet making mistakes is all part of learning, and I never want to stop learning so guess I will have to accept I will always make mistakes. The important thing to do when you make a mistake is to not be too embarrassed, own up to the mistake and then show how you are going to correct it. That is the best way to impress people.

      However, my other embarrassing moments tends to be when I get flustered and become really clumsy. I have been known to fall upstairs. There’s really no lesson to be learnt from that.

      Hope this answers your question but please do ask again if there’s a specific area you want me to focus on.
