Here are some steps you can use to answer questions about what frustrates you, to help you prepare for your next interview:. Consider frustrations that are often relatable to most individuals in the workplace. This may be a minor inconvenience such as slow internet or challenging customer interactions. Try to use examples that are external to your team, or that may be outside your control, to possibly demonstrate that you are likely to extend grace toward your colleagues.
Using examples that are common can help you come across as relatable and show that you have a reasonable frustration tolerance. Related: How To Enjoy Work. Think of a specific time when you experienced the type of frustration you plan to use in your answer. For example, if you want to share that slow internet sometimes frustrates you, you could discuss a time when your office needed to submit important documents by a certain deadline and your internet slowed to a crawl, or a time when a video call meeting had to be postponed due to a slow connection.
Using specific examples can help you illustrate your ideas more clearly and give a concrete representation of your responses and skills. Use the STAR interview response method to include appropriate information about that anecdote. This means try to explain the situation, your task, the action you took and the result of your actions.
For example, you might share a time you felt frustrated about slow internet because your team was facing an important deadline. If your task in that situation was to prepare important documents by that deadline, you might have taken the action of figuring out the source of your internet issues, and the result may have been that your team met their deadline.
Be sure to connect your response to your potential future role as well, so it's evidence that you can transfer your skills to different situations. For example, if you use a situation involving the frustration of slow internet you might explain how your successful trouble-shooting could help you new team meet their goals as well.
And in this, you would also find happiness. Once you are in the right frame of mind, you can focus on what to do.
You need to have control of yourself and calm down if the situation is a little out of hand. Frustrations are good to take the corrective steps. If you can control them and channelize them into productive activity, I feel frustrations are good. But do not let them overpower you so much that it takes control and not you.
