Personal question · Resilience, Problem solving
Out of your hands
Some delays cannot be solved by effort: a missed connection, a lost document, an office or repair that keeps pushing back the date. All you control is how you wait and what you do with your plans.
The two questions
- 1Tell us about a time you were stuck waiting on something outside your control that held up your plans. How did you handle your frustration?
- 2Describe the way you decided whether to keep pushing or to adjust your plans, and what you would do differently next time.
What raters look for
- Resilience
- Recovers from setbacks, manages stress constructively, and learns from failure.
- Problem solving
- Gathers facts before acting, considers options and consequences, and chooses a workable next step.
