[QUOTE="Naomi U, post: 62024, member: 4043"] Hiya! [JUSTIFY]I totally agree with Dheepa's points. I think my personal approach would be to mimic a STAR type structure so; [I]Situation[/I]: What was the experience? How did such experience come about? (what were my initial motivations, how did I find out about the experience etc.) [I]Task/action[/I]: I think task and action can be merged a bit here. So I would give an explanation of the position/role I played, any tasks/ responsibilities I had in particular. It might be better to give a brief overview of your general responsibilities, then perhaps you can go into a bit more detail if you have any key examples. [I]Result: [/I]I think result here is more about reflection. What did you learn from this experience? How did you feel going into the experience vs coming out of the experience? How has this experience shaped you in regards to your motivations, interests and skills (e.g. were you able to overcome a specific challenge?) As for building rapport, I would also describe myself as quite introverted so you are not alone! I think sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves regarding this and I think it's important to remember rapport is a two way street. You can only do what you can from your own side. That being said, my biggest advice would be to consider your body language. Especially now that everything is virtual, body language is more important than ever. So I completely agree with Dheepa's points- smile, smile, smile! I personally think that when you are honest and genuine in your responses, this in itself helps to establish rapport because it reveals more of your true personality. This is why I always recommend being as authentic as you can and to never force a response or pretend to have an interest because you feel you are "supposed to do so". Also at the end of the interview when you have the opportunity to ask questions, I think its always quite nice and beneficial to ask a question that relates to your interviewers own experiences at the firm. Hope this helps & best of luck ☺️[/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
