Message: <blockquote data-quote="D" data-source="post: 24417" data-attributes="member: 540">The key to a good interview is to have answers prepared for all of the questions you think they will ask, and more.Confidence can be worked on. I feel this confidence can come across in so many ways but it probably starts with first impressions. Smile, say hello, extend a hand. Show that you are comfortable. Don't be shy or timid, own the space you are in. When that first question is asked of you, deliver it with power and focus. Almost every first question is "So, why the law?" and this is something you should have a rock-solid answer for! Much like a university essay (where the assessor knows the class before even reading the content after the introduction), I expect the assessor has a very good idea from the outset how the candidate will perform based on the first question. Start well, aim high. That way, even if you hit a few curveballs, they are marking you down from high, rather than you trying to bring yourself up from below.Second-guessing yourself - Probably related to confidence. You need to have a conviction or thought behind your conversations and answers. If someone proposes an alternative to the answer you have given. Don't simply wilt under pressure. Think it through slowly and carefully, and respond. It is ok to back-track. But, it is not ok to simply agree with the interviewer blindly, or, allow them to move you from your position without you giving it at least some thought.Detail - Just ensure you are bringing out the key aspects of your answers. Remember, if you are using STAR, you are not scoring ANY points for the Situation, or the Task (likewise with the 'C' in CAR). Spend your time on the action. I like to ensure I say three action points when I'm answering questions. This ensures I don't drone on, but also that I am doing my best to provide evidence.That's just some ramblings but I hope it helps!</blockquote>
