[QUOTE="Hakbar_04, post: 228932, member: 43450"] It's quite strange that they've told you not to bring in past examples! From what it sounds like, they're really looking for a proper articulation of your approach. Therefore, I'd advise focusing very clearly on this. For instance... [LIST] [*]If the question is 'Tell me what you would do if you made a mistake', really emphasising the need to be open, honest, and transparent is key here. It's not so much about your experience and whether you've demonstrated this in the past, but that means you should really emphasise the key values of honesty and integrity here. What would you do to make amends? How would you change your behaviour to reduce the likelihood of a similar mistake occurring in future? [*]If the question is 'Tell me how you'd work together with different members of a team to achieve a shared goal', you'd want to emphasise the different aspects of teamwork. So talking a bit about the need for delegation, how you would be/work to appoint an effective leader, how you'd handle differences. Again, the specifics of a experience aren't relevant here, just the demonstration of your consideration of all the relevant factors that come into play when considering teamwork [/LIST] It's more of a test of whether you understand, in depth, what is being asked of you, than a demonstration of specific past experiences. Focus on this, and on articulating yourself clearly, simply, and concisely. Those two things will make the difference. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
