[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 222179, member: 42112"] Hello! I totally get where you’re coming from - that question can feel a bit tricky, especially if you have already covered similar areas. For the “what motivates you” question, try focusing on what genuinely drives you to perform well and improve - for example, problem-solving, client impact, continuous learning, or working on complex projects. I would then link it to a specific example that demonstrates your persistence and enthusiasm. It doesn’t need to overlap with your other answers - for example, you could talk about: [LIST=1] [*]Pushing yourself to improve academically [*]Taking initiative in a part-time job, society, or volunteering role [*]Committing to a long-term goal, such as preparing for a competition or gaining a qualification [/LIST] The key part is to make sure your example demonstrates consistency and effort - something that highlights your inner drive rather than just teamwork or leadership skills. I hope that assists! :) [/QUOTE]
