McKinsey / ex-Interviewer at McKinsey / I will coach you to rock those interviews

Here is your chance to talk about your failures.

Essentially, failure experience is regarded very positively by MBB: if you failed, you took risks, i.e. you have proven your entrepreneurial nature. So, do not be afraid to talk honestly about the times you failed.

However, an important thing to focus on in your answer to this question is what you have learnt from your failure. And I would try to turn these “lessons learnt” into something valuable for consulting. For example, you tried doing everything by yourself and after this failure you really started understanding the importance of team work and really improved on this front. Or, you tried doing everything perfectly and after that failure you understood that it’s important to have trade-offs and to compromise to achieve the results you want (80/20 or “better done than perfect“).

So, be honest, talk about your failures, but remember to highlight some lessons learnt to give your story an overall positive twist.

I am not proud that I often feel down when I disappoint someone. However, I have learned over the years to find ways to build motivations to get myself back up and move in a positive forward direction. I do not let past mistakes bring me down but use them as learning opportunities to be better.

One thing I am not proud of is finishing my first degree in Civil Engineering on time. Despite the delay of the first two years, I managed to find my motivation to finish the diploma with a grade that qualifies me in the upper 15%, by

1. Becoming more structured in the way I followed courses by taking notes and solving mid term exams. 

2. Focusing more on the subjects that I liked more such as environmental engineering. 

3. Break down the big tasks in small goals. 

At the end my diploma thesis was nominated for an award. Since then I did not have any more academic delays and I have passed all courses of masters and doctoral school not only on time but also with high grades.
