[QUOTE="rn7, post: 11716, member: 2026"] Absolutely. In the first interview I bombed (at BCLP), the grad recruitment person giving feedback told me my motivations were unconvincing. I suppose it's important to not only have the right type of drive, but also be able to clearly express it to the interviewer. In my case, my interest for commerce generally started out around my parents' businesses (both small-time entrepreneurs facing legal issues). However, over the last year (and partly due to reading certain books related to these areas), I've found finance and investment funds to be areas of particular interest. I'm currently educating myself further, but it's easy to imagine how this sort of 'interest' could be disregarded by an assessor, as it isn't derived from personal work experience or placements (i.e. I haven't been exposed to it). I'm unsure how to better present it, which is perhaps why it has been doubted before. [/QUOTE]
