Message: <blockquote data-quote="lynwang" data-source="post: 206569" data-attributes="member: 36070">Hi guys, going for an AC interview soon and I just wanted to ask people's opinion on something that's pretty subjective! When I answer competency questions, I'm aware I should structure it with STAR. I was just wondering if you think it's necessary/beneficial to end with a little reflection (e.g.) this will help me as a trainee because XYZ/i think this applies to a legal context because XYZ. My only concern is that if I do this for every question, it may seem a little robotic/contrived. I went for an AC interview at a silver circle firm last year which was extremely competency based, and I structured it as STAR with no reflection as to how this will help in my TC. I was rejected. During the feedback session, my failure to add a reflection wasn't actually singled out as a reason why I didn't pass but they did say that I 'was so close' and just needed something extra. I'm not exactly sure what this means and probably should've asked lol but I wonder if this reflection would have made me more successful. [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER], [USER=36740]@Amma Usman[/USER], [USER=36777]@Andrei Radu[/USER] and other TCLA administrators (sorry! I can't remember them all so I just mentioned the names I've seen most frequently), would love to know your thoughts on this. For anybody else in the forum who might like to offer their two cents, I would greatly appreciate it as well! Hope everybody has a good weekend!</blockquote>
