Team you
Starting a story with a character failing at one thing may establish the underdog empathy of the reader with the protagonist but oh, why expose a weakness with the very first cation. It would be ridiculous to expect a good outcome from a job interview which starts with a failure! Not impossible, just rediculous. There are other ways to establish an empathy with the reader, succeeding, for example, we all love success. Or a quirk, they're the best. Or team you, you are fabulous too.
Understand me
