They simply serve as a in introduction, and any competencies/skills will be assessed more directly either through tailored questions that begin with "Why law?" or "Tell me about a time" etc. This question is usually your first impression - so be prepared to sum yourself up in under a few minutes. I tend to start from the degree, explaining why I studied it and how I wasn't initially sold on becoming a solicitor until a certain module. I then link this to experiences that I've pursued that relate to the industry or are transferable in some way and try to build a little bit of a journey for the listener and end on what I'm looking to do now. It's not typically a selling point, but at the very least I make sure it's clear that I know what it is I'm hoping for now.</blockquote>
