[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 91931, member: 17165"] Thanks [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER]. Your point about linking it back to yourself and 'rounding off' the answer is very important too. Giving your answers a clear structure (e.g., the STAR technique) will make them much easier to follow for your interviewers (and for you too!). [USER=15174]@zidoeslaw[/USER], apologies if this answer is coming too late(!), however, my advice is to give an [I]actual[/I] weakness (albeit one which demonstrates something positive), rather than one which is just extremely negative (i.e., I am hopeless at X attribute which is essential to being a commercial lawyer). I was actually picked up in one of my interviews for giving a "false" weakness, i.e., one which isn't really a weakness (it may have been being a perfectionist but I forget exactly what it was!). I think a lot of interviewers appreciate that it takes bravery to show vulnerability in an interview. It is important to remember that your interviewers are not perfect and will have weaknesses too! I really hope that the interview goes ok. Let us know :) [/QUOTE]
