[QUOTE="George Maxwell, post: 111261, member: 17165"] Hey [USER=9815]@lawnoob[/USER], It honestly depends on the stage that you are currently at. For example, if you are in your first year, I think that drawing on your experiences from secondary school would be fine. I would think that early teens is probably too far removed from who you currently are though (e.g., if you are now 19 and you mentioned a situation that you faced when you were 15 or younger). My rule was, as long as it was recent enough to mention on my CV, then it would be appropriate to speak about in interview. For me, I found that after reflecting on competency questions long enough, I really did have a lot of experiences to draw on (a lot more than I thought initially). One way that I got around a mental block on examples was to have my CV printed out in front of me. This often jogged my memory and made me think about what I have done in the past. Do let me know if I can be of any further help 😇 [/QUOTE]
