[QUOTE="applicant3000, post: 229168, member: 40032"] I used to struggle with them a lot but have improved and I think these things helped me: 1) practice by recording yourself saying it on your laptop camera. This is particularly useful for the motivational questions that you know will come up (i.e. why this firm?). It can help you get a sense of your cadence and timing. 2) have a bank of situational/competency answers prepared. Make sure you've practiced saying them allowed but be prepared to use those examples for slightly different questions. 3) for competency/motivational, try and use the STAR method as much as possible to structure your answer. Often grad rec mention that candidates spend a while setting out the situation/task/action but forget to reflect on the outcome. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
