[QUOTE="Alison C, post: 81975, member: 3943"] [USER=11392]@Nnu[/USER] [USER=11490]@MLF[/USER] my VI notes say 'a minute to plan, then 2 or 3 to answer, you didn't know until the planning time finished'. Then they present on screen written questions, with clear structured prompts to ensure you cover what was needed. USE POST ITS around your computer to have your skills and strengths at your fingertips, and make a quick note of how to answer on another post-it that you can stick under the camera and then smile into the lens with that in the corner of your visual field. Q's included: - 'Why do you want to work for us? Include things on: why the GLP, what you know and how it fits with your long term aspirations'. - Also, 'How do you feel about having a lot of responsibility? Include previous responsibilities, what projects you like and what e/ment you work best in'. - Also, 'When have you had to work on a project with a deadline? What was it, who did you report to, what were your strategies? What challenges did you face?' -Also, 'When have you had to work in a team to make a decision and talk about risks and benefits? How did you work together and what was the outcome?' I wrote down that there might have been another one too. FYI these were similar to what I got asked in person at the interview, which is CV blind and the panel won't have seen your VI. The questions probably won't be exactly the same, but you can see the format. Essentially it's the classic questions with a little extra on the agenda. Very clear, very precise, looking for a very particular skillset that is similar to but slightly more team-oriented than typical law firms. It's essentially a form of in-house and your client is usually another govt department. Please excuse my slightly rushed answer (and dodgy punctuation) but I hope you have a good experience whatever the outcome. Bright and TCLA have practice VIs but you can also just record yourself on Zoom.
