[QUOTE="Andrei Radu, post: 212458, member: 36777"] Just before [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] gets back to you, I found this article on strengths-based interviews I thought I would link [URL='https://www.prospects.ac.uk/careers-advice/interview-tips/strength-based-interviews']here[/URL]. I have not completed this type of interview personally, but based on a variety of sources it seems to involve more of a focus on personal questions such as: [LIST] [*]How do you spend your free time? [*]What subjects did you most enjoy in school/university and why? [*]What are kinds of work you like/dislike? [*]What are the things that motivate you the most? [/LIST] People describe it as being less formal than competency interviews, and also say they are harder to prepare for because how wide the scope of the questions can be. I suspect that for this reason, it is difficult to prepare a lot for the substantive part of the interview. However, you should invest time in improving your ability to express your substantive points about past experiences and personality traits. Thus, I think you should concentrate on mock interviews and/or on recording yourself answering randomly selected strengths-based questions. Then, you should critically assess your answer to determine how you could have expressed yourself in a more articulate and structured manner. [/QUOTE]
