[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 187352, member: 36740"] [B]Hey [USER=27951]@Lopez2017[/USER] ,[/B] This is a really interesting question. I totally agree with [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] ’s point on the question intending to enable candidates to bring out their true personalities. I would say focus less on making your response tailored to what you [I]think [/I]the firm wants to hear, and more on being concise with your past experiences and values. [USER=36738]@Ram Sabaratnam[/USER] had also mentioned going back to the firm’s core competencies and tailoring any qualities you have with these as well. This is great as it allows you to show demonstrated interest in some way within all parts of the written application. The firm is trying to see something, trying to uncover something about you’re interests and personality from the question - so take some time with it. Here’s a draft of what I would’ve told my favourite plushie when I was a child: [I][B][/B][/I] [B][I]‘Stay curious and resilient. Life’s a big adventure, full of wonder and challenges. Don’t fear mistakes – they’re just learning steps. And remember, kindness and empathy matter most, even in tough times. Hold onto your playfulness; it keeps things joyful’. [/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
