Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrei Radu" data-source="post: 226921" data-attributes="member: 36777">Hi [USER=34873]@AS24[/USER] I hope you are doing well too! Your approach looks fine: expressing what your stance is in a short introductory sentence and then signposting the different reasons you bring in support of your view shows you can present your argument in a clear and articulated manner, which is an important skill firms are looking for. There's only two things I notice I think you should be mindful of:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">As opposed to university essays, I do not believe an important element of answering this question well is to cite sources of authority for the substance of your arguments. Recruiters have often indicated to me that when it comes to these broad moral/policy questions, they are interested in assessing the quality of your argumentation and the precision of your thinking in itself, rather than seeing if you are acquainted with the relevant literature on the topic. As such, you should be careful about how you go about citing sources - you certainly do not want to give the impression you are simply summarising and reiterating the thoughts and views of others. Personally, I would only cite sources for this type of question if I needed to back up a factual claim I bring up (eg "In 2024, it is estimated more than 20% of teenagers have experienced bullying or harassment on social media platforms") rather than the argument which is premised on the factual claim (I wouldn't cite a source for my follow-up thoughts on the matter, which could be something to the effect of "Considering minors are often unaware of such dangers on social media platforms and that severe mental health problems can result form exposure to bullying and harassment, tighter regulation is needed in this area."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Consider objections and counter-arguments: while I think the majority of your word count should be spent presenting a positive case for one view or the other, I also believe it would be a mistake to simply lay out your points and show no awareness of or engagement with responses that could be formulated by the other side. As such, I would advise you to consider and respond to at least one or two such points, even if you will only be able to present a very high-level analysis. </li> </ol></blockquote>
