      1st Answer Example

      "Experiencing a setback is always disappointing and can be a bit disheartening, but I understand that it happens occasionally. If I experience a major setback, I will take a few moments to debrief with my site manager and discuss what I could have done differently. Then, I move on."

      2nd Answer Example

      "Setbacks can be trying, but I find that you have to learn how to lose before you learn how to win. While I never enjoy a setback, I use them as a stepping-off point to something even better."

      "Setbacks motivate me to become the best version of myself and learn from my mistakes. Setbacks increase my motivation, dedication, and drive. My work becomes better when facing setbacks because I become more alert, self-driven, and humble. Setbacks are awesome because I love to learn from mistakes and want to maximize my potential."
