An interview is supposed to be a time where you are trying to talk yourself up,

[Heidi L]

An interview is supposed to be a time where you are trying to talk yourself up, which is why it can be difficult to answer something like: "Give me an example of a time you did something wrong. How did you handle it?"(https://www.livecareer.com/resource...-an-example-of-a-time-you-did-something-wrong)

Can we say “an interview is supposed to be a time when you are trying to talk yourself up,” and both mean the same thing?

Can we say “give me an example of a time where you did something wrong”?

Thank you!

Use when when the meaning is about a time.

The person writing your example was thinking more about a situation, rather than a time, which is why he/she used where.
