[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 232833, member: 43563"] Hey [USER=9294]@zara elles[/USER] personally, I don’t see this as being an issue. The reason being that: 1. You’re being asked about skills you’ve most likely already mentioned in your application form, so repetition is guaranteed 2. You’re VI is a chance to hear from you and not an application form, it’s a chance to go into more detail about those experiences you mentioned in the application form (this time using STAR). 3. The VI is most likely assessed externally (aside from your application form) and both aren’t marked side by side - so whoever is assessing your videos isn’t cross referencing to your application form to mark you down everytime you repeat something. I appreciate that you may think otherwise, but maybe the issue is that you’re not going into enough detail in your VI answers, or highlighting specifically how that experience meets that skillset. Other than that, there’s the nuances of tone and delivery that need to be considered as well. It’s definitely a difficult part of the process to pin down, but my first suggestion would be to reflect on how you’re explaining it as opposed to what it is you’re saying. [/QUOTE]
