Personal question · Motivation, Self-awareness
Out of date
Skills age. Sometimes the way you learned to do something, and were good at, stops being the best way, and relearning it costs time and pride. Think about a skill you were confident in that had fallen behind.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you realized a skill you were confident in had become outdated. What did you choose to do about it?
- 2What did you find hardest about starting again, and what is one thing you have done differently since to keep your skills current?
What raters look for
- Motivation
- Shows genuine, sustained drive and a clear reason for choices, including when work is unglamorous.
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
