[QUOTE="AvniD, post: 107517, member: 17155"] With these kinds of questions, you need to approach it with the intention of explaining your [I]process[/I] behind identifying and tackling challenges/weaknesses instead of focusing on the challenge/weakness itself. With the examples you've mentioned, you've identified that certain things in the vacation scheme may be challenging, but you haven't demonstrated 1) why they are challenging to[I] you [/I]specifically[U] and [/U]2) how you intend to approach overcoming them. For 1), draw from your life experiences to identify why XYZ is a challenge, how it's presented itself in the past and how you foresee it coming up in the vacation scheme or training contract. For 2) again, draw from your life experiences to explain what the steps you took to overcome similar challenges, what the outcome was and what you learnt that will be useful to you in the vacation scheme/training contract.
