[QUOTE="Dheepa, post: 47601, member: 1572"] Hi Lauren, I've never really encountered a question like this as well. I think that while some of the examples you mentioned are good to provide, you should probably first address what generally can be said to give you purpose. Just because "increasing focus" and "getting good feedback" are two completely different purposes! If it was me, I'd say something more general like I enjoy being able to meaningfully contribute in different situations/pick up new skills. I'd then provide tangible examples like you mentioned and relate it back to why the trainee role is a good one for me. I also completely agree with Naomi's point on making sure you realise that sometimes being a trainee involves doing tasks that aren't necessarily the most exciting and thrilling but you'd still need to find a way to be enthusiastic about them. This is something I'd try to account for my my answer as well. [/QUOTE]
