How do you deal with things when they get hard? It’s easy to be happy and do well when things are going your way. But when things get hard, how you react can give you a lot of information. This is why interviewers will often ask candidates about their biggest mistakes, challenges, or embarrassing moments and how they dealt with them.
What a person does when things get hard tells an interviewer more about the reality of working with the candidate than any accomplishment or hero’s story they could tell. We’ve all had experiences of working with somebody who doesn’t know how to handle it when they’re stressed out and things get hard. So, when things go wrong, how do you react?
Tune in this week to discover why the way you handle a situation when things get hard is what creates real trust with others. Things aren’t always going to go well, so I’m showing you how the way you handle challenges is the best indicator of how successful you’ll be when things are going well.
