Message: <blockquote data-quote="Abbie Whitlock" data-source="post: 246885" data-attributes="member: 42112">Hey!I'm doing well, thank you - I hope you are too!That is a great question! I would always recommend checking out this list of <a href="https://www.thecorporatelawacademy.com/175-training-contract-interview-questions-2/" target="_blank">Training Contract Interview Questions</a> from TCLA, as it is very comprehensive (though I wouldn't try to prepare for every question!) and should give you an idea of what to expect. From my experience with strengths-based interviews, I would say that the Character and Personality section and the Scenarios and Ethical questions are most similar.I have also found a list from <a href="https://www.prospects.ac.uk/careers-advice/interview-tips/strength-based-interviews" target="_blank">Prospects</a>, who list the following as potential questions:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What do you like to do in your spare time?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What energises you?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How would your close friends describe you?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do you most like starting tasks or finishing them?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do you prefer the big picture or the small details?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Describe a successful day. What made it successful?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What are you good at?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What are your weaknesses?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What did you enjoy studying at school or university?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">When did you achieve something you're really proud of?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What do you enjoy doing the least?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do you find there are enough hours in the day to complete your to-do list?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">What tasks are always left on your to-do list?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How do you stay motivated?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">How do you feel about deadlines?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Have you ever done something differently the second time around?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Do you think this role will play to your strengths?</li> </ul>Overall, there isn't generally a right or wrong answer for strengths-based questions - I would focus on being transparent and honest, and include examples to back-up and illustrate your points.Best of luck with the interview!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
