Can anyone give me ideas on how to answer the question, "Please tell us about something which did not turn out as you expected"?

[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 105876, member: 2672"] I'd always go with whatever you think is your best example. I wouldn't necessarily go as broad as life in general, but you can use personal experiences to highlight specific times things haven't gone to plan, rather than just work examples. Sometimes work examples are not always the most impressive - people just feel they are impressive due to it being in a professional environment, but they can lack the substance of what the answer is really looking for. My only advice is to try and avoid not using examples like getting into your first choice of university as this will be something a lot of people reference in these types of questions (and ultimately why most educational systems make you apply for multiple universities). Same with not getting your expected grades for a particular course or qualification. Try to pick something more unique to you and that maybe not everyone could use. [/QUOTE]
