Personal question · Problem solving, Resilience
Still falling short
Effort does not always produce results. Think about a goal you worked hard toward, on a team, in a class or in training, where you kept coming up short no matter how much you put in.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you kept falling short of something you were working hard toward. How did you decide whether to keep pushing the same way, change your approach or set the goal aside?
- 2Describe the point at which you knew what to do next, and what you would tell someone else who is stuck in the same position.
What raters look for
- Problem solving
- Gathers facts before acting, considers options and consequences, and chooses a workable next step.
- Resilience
- Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
