Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 220547" data-attributes="member: 36777">While I have not completed HL's assessment, in my experience the following are central in having a good answer for a situational judgement question in an VI/interview question:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Showing you would put thought into how to manage what is likely to be a tricky situation, and that you are attempting to come up with a cogent response rather than acting impulsively. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Showing you are aware of and factoring in as many relevant considerations as possible in your decision-making, and attempt to come at a solution that minimises the downside; some of the considerations that will often come into play are: the priority ranking of certain matters, managing impact on team dynamics, transparency and delegating decision-making, impact on clients, efficiency when handling multiple matters vs ensuring the risk of any error is minimal, taking on responsibility and showing initiative vs seeking guidance and support; </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Providing a well-structured answer, which ideally explains what specific actions you would take in a step-by-step manner. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Providing a nuanced answer, which explains the different alternative courses of action you may take depending on whether certain assumptions hold true: a particular difficulty with situational judgement questions is that there will be a lot of information that would impact your decision-making in a real-life context which is simply not provided to you because the questions are drafted at a very general level - as such, you will have to come up with an interpretation that will involve making certain assumptions. You should clarify which assumptions you are making when delivering your answer (e.g. "Assuming there is no other trainee on this deal that has capacity to help, I would"...) and explain alternative courses of action (e.g. "If my supervisor says that X, I would take this course of action; if my supervisor says that Y, I would do Z instead") </li> </ul></blockquote>
