Purpose

Interviewers want to see how you handle setbacks and if you can learn from them. They’re looking for self-awareness, growth, and resilience.

Tips

  • Use the STAR-L method: Share a specific Situation, the Task at hand, the Actions you took, the Results, and the Lessons learned.
  • Be honest and take ownership of your past performance without blaming others.
  • Highlight concrete steps you took to improve, like seeking feedback or changing study habits.

Common mistakes

  • Don’t make excuses or blame external factors for your remediation.
  • Avoid vague statements like 'I just studied harder'—be specific about what you did.
  • Don’t downplay the significance of your remediation; acknowledge it and show how you grew from it.
