Depends entirely of what they indicate they have learned from it and what they've taken away from it.
If they are blindly proud, I think they are a dumb huckster who can't read his audience and am not impressed.
If they are apologetic/shameful, I think they don't realise the opportunity they had or how to spin it. Also, they are crap self-marketers.
From my perspective (which is very much a function of my non-salesy role), I'd want someone to tell me they appreciate that it's a bit of a sales job, but they can recognise what they can learn from that and they also appreciate how it challenges them.
Est animi ad necessitatibus. Repellat quis consequatur itaque iure quo. Blanditiis dignissimos dolore qui amet.
