Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jaysen" data-source="post: 95505" data-attributes="member: 1">I promise it will become much easier over time. I would just be careful that you aren't spending too much time building a big bank of possible answers to questions. It's one of those traps that applicants can get into because sourcing information to possible questions feels productive. The danger is this often doesn't translate well to interviews - you will have the information stored, but it'll be hard to apply them to varying questions or to relay them in your own words, under pressure. There are also much better ways to spend your time to get you closer to your goals. I would instead recommend working on the skill of thinking up your own answers to these questions. You can develop that skill by regularly practising answers to mock interview questions. I would do this aloud and imagine as if you were responding to real interview questions - it won't be easy, but you will get better the more you do it (especially if you can reflect on your answers).Don't worry too much about trying to find a unique approach or trying to impress, but try to work out what matters to you when answering these questions. For example, the question on the advantages of working at an international firm - I am sure you have many other reasons than the ones you have given above, but I imagine you are stuck because you are focusing on answers that 'sound good'. You can ask yourself questions here to dive deeper into the question: Why does multi-jurisdictional work matter to you? Why does a secondment matter to you? How do they relate to your experiences? What experiences have you had so far that show you international work matter to you?If you think deeply about your reasoning, your answers will be better than any answers provided by other people because these will be your unique reasons and they will stand up to scrutiny.</blockquote>
