[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 223526, member: 42112"] Hey! I would answer that question by sharing something small but meaningful that people wouldn't immediately know about you. It doesn't have to be deeply personal - just a detail that gives others a better sense of your personality or interests. A lot of people will pick something such as a surprising hobby, an unusual habit, or a unique skill. For example, you could mention things such as: [B]1. [/B]A hobby that you enjoy that rarely comes up in conversation (e.g. "I love learning obscure board games") [B]2. [/B]A unique talent you have (such as being able to juggle or solve a Rubik's cube in under a minute) [B]3. [/B]Something about your background that people might not guess (e.g. that you speak a bit of an unusual language or once competed in a random contest) [B]4. [/B]A niche interest that you are passionate about (such as learning about myths from different cultures) The idea is simply to share a small detail that feels true to you and adds a bit of personality - nothing too revealing, but just something that helps people get to know you a bit better! For example, in similar questions in the past, I discussed my interest in transport systems across the UK or my 5-year Duolingo streak - both examples give me a chance to showcase things I am passionate about! it doesn't have to be something that is directly applicable to law or the business world, but you should use the question as an opportunity to show your passion and dedication to something that you are genuinely interested in (and link transferable skills where you can). I'd try not to overthink it too much - just try to pick an interest or trait that feels authentic and genuine :) [/QUOTE]
