[QUOTE="James Carrabino, post: 96518, member: 16764"] To follow on from [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER]'s great advice, I will say that this is a question I did not prepare for at all and it came up in my first ever interview. I had no idea what to say and pondered for thirty seconds. Someone came to mind immediately but I thought it would not be a very good answer. So I thought 'Which public figure really inspires me?' And I just could not think of someone on the spot. Eventually I figured that the clock was ticking and so giving my real answer instead of choosing some random public figure would have to do and I said that my friend from university inspired me. I have never in my life seen someone who is so efficient with their time - if he had 15 minutes of spare time he would use it incredibly effectively. He could sit down and do a little bit of homework or send off some e-mails. He was not a workaholic by any means and would leave plenty of time to relax and socialise, but he always had a plan for his time and he never let it go to waste. I really admired that! The interviewers loved my answer and I ended up getting the vac scheme, so it made me realise that they are not looking for any specific answer, just a thoughtful and genuine explanation. I hope that helps :) [/QUOTE]
