Can I use an example from my work experience which I wrote on my application form to answer a question that might come up during VI along the lines of ‘Describe a time when you needed to develop an unconventional approach to solve an existing problem.’ I’m worried this could lead to repetition. @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre thoughts?
This is fine - it’s fine to use the same themes from an application form and I wouldn’t expect your work experience section to detail one situation where you took an alternative approach. It could have a brief reference - but I wouldn’t expect the same level of detail compared to you explaining it in an interview.

I just completed the Reed Smith assessment and got the feedback report which was better than I anticipated (I was really nervous) BUT for the first two questions in the VI my laptop was glitching. I realized it was because my laptop was full so I unplugged my laptop but I am worried that when they watch the first two back, it won't be clear enough. Shall i email recruitment or leave it and just pray for the best? @Jessica Booker @axelbeugre
I don’t think you need to do this. I think you are assuming there is an issue when there is unlikely to be one.
