Hey @ScottieSuits I think this is an amazing approach. However, make sure you can answer it naturally. You don't want to come across scripted, and I think sometimes a rigid structure can do that. The interviewer wants to see the real you, your personality, your way of communicating etc. So, by all means hit those points but be able to do so naturally.@Afraz Akhtar
I hope you are well!
I had a quick question regarding an AC. In a motivational/competency interview, when asked “Why you?”, what would you recommend as the most effective way to structure this answer? My current thinking is to select a personal trait that strongly aligns with the firm’s values, support it with relevant past experiences, and then clearly link it back to how I would add value to the firm. I would really appreciate your thoughts on whether this is the right approach or if there is a better way to frame it. Thank you![]()
Additionally, you should also take this time to present a summary of your strongest skill-set, not just one. In the past, I've always gone for three and leveraged an experience of mine to actually substantiate the claim. I haven't specifically needed to link this back to the firm, but have made the effort to link it back to the career choice.
