You can then link that to the responsibility that trainees get, explaining that you are motivated by being trusted with meaningful contributions rather than purely observational tasks.You could also mention the intellectual side (e.g. taking complex concepts and summarising them into clear and practical advice), but I would make sure that you frame this as something you are excited to do in a client-facing and fast-paced environment.Essentially, the question is a way of showing that you understand the role of a trainee and can explain why that excites you. Therefore, I would pick 1-2 core things, explain why they genuinely excite you, and show that you understand how the trainee role actually works in practice.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>
