Personal question · Problem solving, Resilience
When the plan fell apart
Plans fail for ordinary reasons: someone cancels, the money runs short, the weather turns, or the instructions turn out to be wrong.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time a plan you were relying on fell apart. How did you work out what to do next?
- 2What did you learn about how you solve problems under pressure, and what do you do differently now?
What raters look for
- Problem solving
- Gathers facts before acting, considers options and consequences, and chooses a workable next step.
