[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 26815, member: 1160"] I created a document with tables for each competency, I had two examples for each and really tried to make them different (and maybe around 15 competencies in total) and the columns were labelled STARR - situation, task, action, result and reflection (the latter being what I learnt and how the competency might translate in a legal trainee context). I then filled out each one and tried to limit my word count and ensured I was only putting in the need to know details. I found this was good for organising my thoughts and also making sure I had gotten a plan of things to say and cover ahead of time so I didn't waffle too much on the spot. I definitely did not script this though - I just wrote in note form the things I had to cover for each element of STARR. I think this did make me slightly more concise but as I said in a post above, I didn't radically change my delivery as i still wanted to stay true to the way I naturally communicate so I think I did improve and tried to be more conscious of this but also still spoke in a way that felt natural to me. I also had mock interviews with Jaysen, Aspiring Solicitors and Rare and these really helped me to get some feedback and pointers on my responses too :) [/QUOTE]
