Problem Statement
Tell me about a time when you failed at something. / Describe a failure and what you learned.
Explanation
I failed to secure a leadership position in a college club election despite preparing well, which was disappointing as I had invested significant effort in my campaign. Instead of giving up, I analyzed what went wrong, realized I needed to build stronger relationships with club members throughout the year rather than just during elections, and worked on my networking skills. The next year, with a better approach and genuine connections, I was successfully elected, teaching me that failures are stepping stones when we learn from them.
