For example, if the question is "How would you handle competing deadlines?" I'm assuming the firm wants to just hear the process you would take to handle these deadlines. A good way to stand out here would be to showcase knowledge of the firm, eg do they use Microsoft Teams? Do they have any AI tools which may be helpful? Is there a specific way you're trained by the firm to handle the situation?  I'd say this is where you would distinguish yourself from other candidates, and I assume you might make reference to past experiences, such as saying I used a Gantt Chart during sixth form, and I'd follow the same approach not but the firm doesn't want a PEEL or STAR paragraph on how you used a Gantt chart during school!Does that make a little more sense? I also think that when everyone is making similar points, a big differentiator for the firm is the strength of your communication style. The approach that has worked for me is letting your personality come across during your video interviews. Don't be afraid to smile at the camera when answering the questions, and don't think you have to speak like a robot either! Amongst all the competencies and requirements, most firms just want to see that you're someone they can put in front of a client and be confident in your ability to represent them in an appropriate manner. I hope that helps but if you have any follow ups then please reach out!<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
