I am currently in the process of drafting an application for Walker Morris and am a bit stuck on how to structure the answer to one of their questions:

'Tell us about a current affairs topic that you find of interest and why?'

Would it be a good idea to talk about GDPR/Data Protection. And how could I possibly structure my answer.

Would really appreciate some help!

Is a very relevant topic but is quite generic. If you really want to stand out pick something more nice. But ultimately picking something you're genuinely interested in will come across moss convincingly.

In terms of structure it really depends on the topic. Usually would be a short introduction on the topic itself and then analysing your reasoning for being interested in the specific topic.

    If you are interested in the GDPR/data protection then go for it. There's no set way to structure it, just make sure you are answering the question.
