KENNEDYS SQE TRAINING PROGRAMME

[Hanna Reeves]

I just completed my VI and I cant lie I dont think it went great, none of the questions I prepped came up, but I guess its just a learning curve

I completed the Travel SQE questions. 3 questions - one motivational, one personality, one competency question. Good luck everyone. I flopped my personality question

Thanks for this I thought there would be at least about the firm which is strange!

I agree, it wasn’t the best but it could’ve been a lot worse! At least we only had a short time to answer so it was over quickly lol

What team did you apply for and which questions came up for you if you don’t mind me asking ???

I applied for professional liability, questions wise id say just prepare answers for some competency based questions and some more situational

I completely messed that VI up, so disappointed in myself

I'm sorry to hear that ... I'm so nervous to do it, were the questions difficult?

Oh me too! It was an absolute disaster Just look at it as good practice for next time.

Does anyone know when we will hear back?

SAME and when I say bad - the flat next door decided to start DRILLING (so I acknowledged this and apologised!) and on the second question i realised i completed said one thing and expanded on a completely different thing - so on the third video i started it by saying how i meant X in the previous video, then got on with the final Q fml

 

[Preet]

I’m so nervous to do this interview Is anyone willing to share what type of questions were asked

I keep telling myself this but after several failed VI this cycle I am only starting to wonder how much practice I need . Oh well, I'll have them perfected very soon.

I'm not sure when we hear back though sorry!

I don’t know what makes a good/bad interview but I just did mine and it seemed pretty straightforward. My nerves were normal and I felt my answers were natural/genuine. Maybe because I’m used to recording myself speak . We will see though. My feelings and Grad Rec may be different

I don’t know if this helps to calm nerves but it helped to calm mine. I personally don’t think it’s about questions being difficult I think it’s more about staying calm and being able to collect your thoughts and recollect your experiences.

As opposed to trying to prepare for “specific questions”, I spent more time thoroughly and intentionally knowing my experiences and genuine motivations and also seeing it as just a normal Q and A. It helped my answers come more easily.

I had one firm/motivation, one personality and one competency.

Goodluck everyone!

Ah congratulations to you, i'm so glad you think it went well and i'm sure your confidence came across to them!!!

This is really good advice, thank you!! I really think i concentrated too much on the specific question that I thought would come up so then when questions I had not considered came up I was quite stuck!! This is why I think getting multiple opportunities to do VI's hopefully I will improve.

Good luck to you

I think its just nerves, my fitbit thought I had done 22 minutes of exercise as my heart rate was so high. I didn't find the questions difficult per se, just one of them I blabbed on about something that was nothing to do with my interests, I told my dad what I said after and he laughed.

I'm also in the middle of doing my LPC exams so I think there is just so much pressure from all angles that I'm not portraying well. VIs have never been my strong point, I'm much better with conversing with an actual person. But oh well, I am definitely more confident in front of the camera! And hoping for some success soon.

Best of luck with your application!

thanks for this, this is really helpful. This is probably a silly question but what do you mean by personality question? Are they questions where they ask you how you would react in a situation?
