[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 50070, member: 4043"] Hi [USER=8721]@ES123456[/USER] I don't think there is an exact right or wrong answer and this will vary for each question. However I think my biggest advice would be to have structure to your answers. Personally for each type of question I would plan to mention 2-3 key points. I would then express my answer along the lines of " I think I am drawn to a career in law for 2 key reasons, the first ..................., the second ........" Then follow a point, evidence, link structure. So say you are drawn to law because you enjoy the investigative and research element, evidence this by mentioning how you found out about this interest e.g. a subject you studied, a workshop/work experience you attended, then link back to why law e.g. the day to day role of a trainee etc. If you plan to complete each element in a sentence or two that should be ideal as this way you can be sure to include everything you feel is relevant but you avoid droning on. Personally I think as a long as you have structure, and you know where you answer begins and ends, this will help you appear measured and in control. I think everyone's biggest worry (at least mine) was that you want to get everything out to the point that you just don't stop talking. But don't be afraid of a few seconds of silence. Just mention what you feel is relevant as in an interview setting, the interviewer will be likely to follow up anyway. I hope this helps:) [/QUOTE]
