[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 224672, member: 42112"] Hello! In most video interviews, this question is usually meant to be general rather than strictly legal or commercial (unless the instructions provided by the firm say otherwise). They're trying to see how you communicate, structure your thoughts, and talk confidently about something you understand. You could pick any topic you know well or are genuinely interested in - for example, a hobby, a recent trend, an academic area, or something from your work experience. The key is to explain: [LIST] [*]What the topic is [*]Why it interests you [*]How you've learned about it [*]Why it matters or what impact it has [/LIST] For example, someone might talk about AI, travelling, sustainability, a favourite sport, or even something like baking - as long as you explain it clearly and passionately! In one of my previous applications, I discussed an interest in psychology which I developed through studying it at A-Level. So don't worry too much about keeping it strictly legal unless the question specifies. Just choose something you can speak confidently about and that shows your ability to communicate well :) [/QUOTE]
