[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 31201, member: 2672"] Agree with Jaysen on this - it depends very much on you and how comfortable you are with talking about personal matters. But these answers can often be the strongest because they often come with truth rather than bravado. It is good to show personal achievement with these things but that’s the key - is focusing on the positive outcomes/achievements. Sometimes people can get a bit “chip on shoulder” or overly negative of the situation/other people, particularly when talking about adversity faced. Although it is important to understand those difficulties and for a picture to be painted, it’s also important to think about your language and tone in these situations. It is also advisable to avoid anything that is going to make you upset or angry as you are probably going to become less coherent. So if it is a more emotive topic, try to keep it matter of fact and positive. Focus on your actions/achievements and reflect on the emotions of the time rather than overly describe them. It’s also important to think about how the situation has changed you for the better, particularly if it was a challenging situation. [/QUOTE]
