[QUOTE="Jaysen, post: 12124, member: 1"] Some further advice from another future trainee! 1. The questions on those things are relatively standard across the board. Concerning three types generally: motivational questions, competency based questions and commercial awareness questions. As such applicants should be astute to those areas and how they can demonstrate those areas through their own experiences. 2. Look at the camera on your laptop NOT THE SCREEN. Looking at the camera will mean you’re looking at the person watching the submission. Virtual eye contact effectively. 3. A sneaky tip, if you can’t really remember particular things you think you might wish to say, you can always stick sticky notes around your laptop camera with the bits of your application to jog your memory as you answer, as you will be unable to read your application in the interview. 4. It’s incredibly generic but be yourself. From what I gather, CRS particularly are looking for people. Real people, not a sort of corporate facade. So tell real stories that are relevant to you, not what you think a firm wants to hear. 5. Pick a sensible place to do the interview with good WiFi and a plain background etc and minimal background noise. [/QUOTE]
