QUESTION 10 OF 25

Share an experience in which you tried to coordinate an activity, but it was not successful.

As a recreation worker you hope that all your activities are engaging and are successful with the group, unfortunately that is not always the case. The interviewer wants to hear about a time when you tried to organize an activity but didn't succeed.

The interviewer isn't asking this question because they want to hear about your failures, they want to hear about what you learned from the activity.

"A time I wasn't successful was when I tried to organize a challenge course- none of my campers were interested in it. I talked to them about why they weren't interested and I found out I added too many tasks for the age group I was working with. Although it wasn't successful, I learned a lot from my campers about being a better counselor."
