Interview Question: Why did you fail your vac schemes?

[wwood]

Hi everyone I'm not sure if this has been posted before. I've been getting this question "Why did you fail your vac schemes" recently. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on tackling this question? Frankly, mine was lacking confidence (leading to bad time management, not as proactive etc.) ... but I'm not sure if recruiters would like to hear that, given that job applicants should be confident. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you so much!

hey! My response was tactfully honest- so I explained the feedback honestly and then focused more on ways I had improved since being given that feedback

it doesn’t matter what the reason for it is, what matters is you being able to demonstrate how you have developed/solved that weaknesses since then
