Hi, to anyone who got to the next stage of hogan Lovells - how did you go about answering the question about an enjoyable experience where you worked with people from different backgrounds/cultures/personalities? Mine was using an example during a “high stress” time where we all worked together as a team towards a collective goal etc and leveraged/utilised our different experiences to reach our goal etc. I was just wondering if this was an appropriate response / similar to anyone else’s successful application??

that sounds perfectly good to me. So long as you have the different experiences part and try to explain it in a STAR way then it sounds like a very well chosen example :) Did you say why it was enjoyable or try to explain that?

still in the process of writing it actually! This is something I’m struggling with - I’m writing that it was enjoyable because we all learnt something new in terms of processes/different jurisdictions etc as well as getting to know each other as a team etc. It still does feel a bit waffly on my part as I’m not sure that I’ve ever had to reflect on a situation being enjoyable because specifically because myself and the people were all different...if that makes sense!
