[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 181695, member: 2672"] Dealing with challenges/obstacles/failures is vital in a law firm so they want to see that you manage the bounce back from that or don’t let it get to you/give up. The example can be anything - academics, work experience, extra curriculars, or just general life. I’d just avoid something that happens to a lot of people (eg not getting expected grades/not getting into your first choice of uni), just so you can make your answer more unique. For a general structure, I would recommend: Outline the situation leading up to the set back briefly Explain the set back - you don’t have to labour why the setback happened unless it’s going to explain how you reacted/changed your approach after the set back. Focus your answer on what you did after the setback to make it a more positive outcome Explain anything you learnt from the situation. [/QUOTE]
