How would you recommend answering this question in an interview context with a partner. Some resources recommend a narrative structure, showing a journey to get to a place of applying for the firm. However, others recommend 2-3 reasons. My caution with the latter is I could see this coming across robotic and also jumping around in time a lot, but I can see the benefits in making my answer clear. Any help would be much appreciated - have a big interview on Tuesday for a vacation scheme!
