[QUOTE="j.s.cox, post: 111284, member: 20454"] I tried to be as truthful as possible without getting too personal. I was aiming to appeal to the values listed as the firm's core values without forcing a link too much. It seems to have worked as I got to the next stage. For the friends question, I gave three adjectives that I think my friends would genuinely describe me as (I think they were caring, dependable, and trustworthy) and gave a short example of why I think my friends would descibe me as each of those adjectives. I considered using words like 'organised', but whilst it is a good word to describe me, I think my friends would use words to describe my personality rather than the attributes that would help me excel in a workplace. For the worst job, I talked about a really monotonous job I had when I was 13 and the ways I managed to get through the task I had been set (I think I talked about rewarding myself, setting time blocks, and setting myself a list of the items I had to get through each day). Again, I wanted to be truthful, but I didn't want to come across as whiny, and I think this helped demonstrate some of my key competencies. [/QUOTE]
