1. One administrative mistake I have made in the past is not paying close enough attention to the details. Rather than take the time to read contracts and understand the specifics of a task, I took the easier option and just assumed a lot of the details. This led to me making mistakes and costing the company time and money. I learned from this experience that taking the time to read the details and understand the expectations of a task before beginning is essential to avoiding costly mistakes. 2. Another Administrative mistake I have made in the past is not setting sufficient deadlines. This led to me not having enough time to complete tasks, resulting in rushed and less-than-perfect work. I learned from this experience to always set earlier deadlines than needed in order to ensure there is plenty of time for review and correction if needed.
