This exercise is called Failure Resume. This might sound counterintuitive, but it is exactly so because it is completely different from the way we are taught traditionally to draft our resumes, where we usually list only the achievements and successes. With this exercise we invite you to take a different approach – instead of your achievements, built a resume of your failures! We hope that as you complete the activity you will see that failure was your companion during your entire life from the moment when you took your first steps and failed and went back and tried again until you stood on your feet!

Review criteria

Use the PURE approach to giving feedback:

Positive: First, highlight the strengths of the submission - what was done well? Give “happy comments” right away, and be considerate and constructive

Presentations always have a positive side. Everything starts from the game. The contribution and exchange of experiences, and staying in the knowledge of the other, so that ours change course. 

Unique: Next, comment on interesting and unique aspects of the submission - what did you find interesting about it?

From these European minds, failures are not valued, and so your prospects for positive play induce me to continue this course. Fabulous instructors, who all ages bring the realistic paths of change, professional retraining and the different positive paths of life, with conversation, behind a failure.

Revision: Third, be a “critical friend” - what suggestions do you have for improvement or revision. The purpose is not so much “to grade” as to interact and suggest.

At a point of irreversible condition, after an error of projection, to be a critical friend to the side, is of vital importance, because the clash of ideas and approaches, produces above all a reduction of roads, towards methods of solving the jam.

Education: Close by reflecting on what you learned and how you were educated from the submission as a feedback provider.

By studying the potential competencies of your professional world, see your values, your strengths, and the spaces of your work that they do not empower. And that brought to day to day within the everyday, if you hit, you will solve with trial error, and a peculiar way of observation, and with instructions from critical friends, you will come to feel safe, in the one or more ways to solve on the way Towards a new project, with a view to help you to advance in a new project, with benefits.

This course, with that kind of not giving importance to the nonsense, with which we solve the daily mishaps, and with the neutral voice of the critical friend, makes us transfer the mechanical pragmatism, the pragmatics and viabilities of our specialties, and skills
