Hi
@Jessica Booker ,
@axelbeugre , is it ok to mention same commercial stories as I did during the AC interview of a firm, for the final interview of their upcoming Spring VS (timelag is is only 2 months) ? Do they expect you to prepare afresh and say new things ? Do they keep a record of what you spoke about in AC and hold it against you if you repeat it ? Same question for competency and motivational questions - since they havent changed since AC , can I give same answers? I guess I am trying to establish in general if they want fresh perspectives since AC or same will do ? Would this change for Summer VS given the lag is more ?
You can but this is an opportunity to show something different about your interests or knowledge and so I would potentially try to pick another story to show more variety.
However, they still may ask you about what you wrote on your application, so make sure you are up to date with the developments in that story too.
It is unlikely they will know the details of what you spoke about it previous interviews during the interview itself, and so you could use the same examples, but if that comes across as one dimensional in wrap up feedback meetings/discussions between the assessors, it is more risky.
You don’t have to change all the perspectives of your motivational answers - it is expected they will be the same/similar.
Ultimately I wouldn’t expect your interview at a final stage to cover the exact same things you have had in a previous interview though, and so this worrying of repetition is probably not something to concern yourself with. There maybe some overlap, and where you can try to show more variety in your skills, knowledge or experience but don’t worry about it if you are using occasional similar answers.
