[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 218803, member: 42112"] Hi! Generally, video interviews will focus mostly on motivational and competency-based questions, such as ‘Why X Firm’ and ‘Tell us about a time…’. However, some firms do include situational or scenario-based questions, particularly considering ‘strengths-based’ assessments have become more prevalent. This is a way to see how you would handle specific problems, and the traits that you possess that make you a good fit for the firm (e.g. “How would you handle X?”). I would say it’s definitely worth preparing for a few situational questions just in case - I’d say the best way is to reflect on your previous experiences, and highlight the key strengths you displayed in each scenario. You can then apply this to the situational question in the interview, and link back to your past evidence of displaying it if applicable. I would focus most of your preparation on motivational and competency questions, but be ready for some situational questions too as they may pop up! :) [/QUOTE]
