In this video, we will answer the situationalinterview question: “Tell me about a time you failed.

” In the video, we’ll cover:Why this question is asked What to say when you're answering/how to answerit And how to wrap So, stay tuned.

OK, so what’s the point of this question?Normally, when interviewers ask these types of questions, especially this one, it comesfrom the theory that your approach to failure defines your success.

The question is designedto see how you approach failure, how you think about it, and what your attitude towards failureis.

So, moving on.

How do we answer this question specifically?So, you're going to answer it by telling a story, and with that story, we’re goingto use a formula.

It’s called the S.

A.

R.

I.

formula, which we’ll go through in thisvideo.

S.

A.

R.

I.

stands for: Situation, Action, Result, and (as a bonus) Interesting features.

The S.

A.

R.

I.

formula is mentioned in many videos and many places online, I’m sure,and it comes from the same place as the S.

A.

R.

formula or the S.

T.

A.

R.

formula, which areessentially the same.

So, S.

T.

A.

R.

is: Situation, Task, Action, Result.

And S.

A.

R.

is: Situation,Action, Result.

So, now that you know about that, let’sget right into it.

Step 1: The SituationSo, here is where you're going to set the stage and paint a picture.

So, you’re goingto explain what happened, why you failed, and why you thought this was a failure.

So,one person might have thought something was a failure, and another person might not haveseen it that way, so you're going to explain what the problem was.

Step 2: ActionThis is where the meat of your answer comes in.

So, what did you do? Talk about the actionthat you took—and specifically the action that YOU took.

Don’t say “we” or “us.

”They want to know what YOU did.

Top candidates own up to their part in a failure, and thenthey come up with options on how to fix it and how to move forward quickly, so presentthe options that you suggested to fix it, and tell them which one you went with andwhy.

Step 3: ResultExplain how it worked out in the end.

What happened as a result of your actions? Everystory is not complete without a happy ending, so make sure it’s something positive youchoose to tell the story about, and the story ends well.

Step 4: Interesting FeaturesThis is a bonus.

I know this is all hard to remember all together, but… Interestingfeatures.

So, this is what really puts the icing on the cake.

Zero in on learning, talkabout resources you used to get the results that you did—anything that adds interestto the story and makes the story more fun to listen to.

For example, an interesting feature that youcan use to wrap it up is an insightful comment on how you view failure.

These make good interestingfeatures and are nuggets of wisdom that highlight how you learn and grow.

Here’s a couple of good ones: You can’t fail if you don’t give up…or You learn more from your failures than youever do from your successes.

And all in all, failures are rich with experience.

They’re rich with growth.

They mean character building.

They mean learning.

They mean toughgrowth moments, so don’t shy away from talking about them.

Embrace them, own them and believethat they make you a better person because they do! If you never tried at anything, you’dnever fail, and you’ve never have any experience, and you’d never grow.

And there we have it! What is your attitudetowards failure? How do you deal when things go wrong? And how do you take responsibilityfor the failure, and how do you propose to fix it? There we have it.

You can tell them how itturned out.

Don’t forget to tell them how the story ends.

Don’t leave them hanging!And as a bonus, add interesting features like telling them what you learned and interestinginsights that you learned from your particular story.
