Failure is an inevitable part of success and it is obvious that you would fail on your path of hard work. But, this doesn’t mean one should stop. This behavioral question targets your commitment, how you deal with disappointment, failure, and adversity and how you get back on track. As an ace interviewee, you should answer in a way that it creates an indelible impact. Tell your recruiter about a situation where you had set a goal or where you had to fulfill the goal set by others but you failed to do so. Tell him what the root cause was; how you managed to make things right and what were the ramifications. Also, a good answer consists of learning and experiences that you gain from different situations. Conclude your answer by telling him the takeaways of a situation where you failed to achieve the goal. Failure only makes you smarter, receptive and confident so don’t be afraid, to tell the truth.
