That's something! I finally got my rejection post Insight Scheme. So disappointed

Aah so sorry that it wasn’t better news for you - but feel like you can definitely take pride in having completed the Insight scheme, means you’re already a brilliant candidate for HD next year, or lots of other firms given you have the experience under your belt! :)

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if someone could offer some guidance on how to answer this question.

Focusing on our values (Trust, Respect, Innovation and Collaboration) tell us what you can bring to Hill Dickinson that will set you apart from the rest. (250 words)

I was thinking of focusing on a couple of values, maybe 2 or 3. Don't know if I can fit all of them in the word count. I'll then write a situation or achievement where I have displayed them , what I learnt and the outcome and how this will help me at Hill Dickinson? Am I on the right track?
Hi Sara,

Were you able to get this done?
I am currently filing the same application and i am stuck on the question :

Any ideas on how best to answer the question?

Last year (I reached the interview stage) I used one example which embodied the four values and also highlighted what I believe are my strengths. But I know others who used two or three examples which evidenced them, so I don't think there is necessarily a *right* approach. It will depend on what experiences you have to show as evidence.
