Hi folks,

Hope you doing well. I am in the process of applying to Cambridge MBA (Judge Business School). I am not sure what is expected for this question -

"Tell me a work project or task where you did not perform well. What did you learn about yourself?"

My idea for this question is -
I need to mention a situation in which I would have goofed somewhere, resulting in big loss (of any type). Subsequently I'll have to mention the learnings from it.
Can I also mention if I learnt something good about my personlity instead of just negative aspects?

What is your point of view?

Thanks and take care,
Neon

Hi Neon,

I too am applying to Judge and I believe that this question is about a particular situation or task which you could not do well or failed or anything that caused /could have caused potential damage to your organisation. This should be followed by how you dealt with the situation and your learning's from it . Ofcourse , you could also have learnt some good points about yourself during the "damage control" phase but neverthless you should mention your own professional/personal shortcomings that actually led you into that unpleasant situation.

Hope this helps

The bottom line is that the positives should be mentioned about how you overcame the reasons for failure.
