Interviewers ask this question to help them determine how easily you are discouraged, how you recover from difficult experiences, and whether you take responsibility for navigating challenging circumstances. Interviewers also use this type of question to probe for failures in your professional life that might reveal weaknesses that would limit your effectiveness on the job. Employers want their team to see challenges as opportunities to learn and grow.

Select a situation from your past professional life or college experience where someone or something fell short of expectations and explain how you handled it. Also, mention any professional learning you may have acquired in how you would approach the situation in the future. Explain how you recovered from your disappointment and keep your answer positive; don't blame others for your past disappointments or failures.

"My biggest disappointment is not being given a full-time offer at the end of my internship this past summer. However, my manager explained that no full-time offers were being made to interns due to a temporary hiring freeze and cutbacks during the recession. He also said that if the hiring freeze was lifted, I would be the first to be offered a position. In retrospect, I chose the internship role for the opportunity to learn and grow as a water conservationist, and I gained valuable experience that led me to this opportunity to interview with your company."
