[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne Attorney at Law, post: 248162, member: 30844"] Hi [USER=42112]@Abbie Whitlock[/USER], I was recently going through the course and posts on situational/scenario type interview questions. While trying a question with a non-law friend, they suggested using an example briefly for some scenarios. In the past I would usually just answer these questions with what I would do and voice out any assumptions I am making in my answer. I thought that two scenarios may not be the same, where even if I link an example it maybe a hard fit and may not always match. Is it worth doing it for some answer, say for example based on a previous question someone asked about working late hours, "You have a busy day ..... partner has additional task ..... you have a personal thing later(that may (definitely 😬) will have to be moved) .... what do you do ?" in this sort of a question would it make sense to answer it properly and maybe at the end add that in a previous situation abc, I experienced something similar where I acted in X way.... . Or should I just stick with answering what I would do and that's it ? [/QUOTE]
