Question 2 of 30

How do setbacks or challenges on the job emotionally affect you and your work?

"During my schooling, challenges came in many ways, shapes, and forms, and I feel confident that I've learned great skills in being a calm and confident handler of challenges as part of your team at Jetstar Airways. I think back to a couple of years ago when I was faced with a large credit load one semester while my mother was hospitalized for a significant amount of time. I had to balance now becoming the head of household for my younger sibling while still tending to my academics. Was it a challenge? Of course it was! But I proved my ability to buckle down, work hard and use my communication skills to help me through."

      Answer Example

      "Experiencing a setback is always disappointing and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens from time to time. When I have experienced major setbacks on the job, I have taken a few moments to debrief with my manager and discuss what I could have done differently. Then, I move on. Can you elaborate on how you work with your team on their individual challenges?"
