Hi Gordon, great videos, they are very helpful. Thank you so much. I am afraid I still find it difficult to put all these tips/skills into action :) Can you please show a few sample answers so we can understand how we can demonstrate these skills?

Hi @@GordonChung, I have just accessed the Facebook group, but not sure if I found the questions bank. Please, can you kindly provide more guidance? Thanks.

Hi Gordon! I have a video interview coming up and wanted to ask, in terms of motivation question e.g. why X firm, is it fine if I use the same answer as I did for my application?

[@GordonChung]

I think it’s fine but limit it to 2/3 reasons, remain organised and don’t be too long-winded and be clear what you want to say

[@aminah7124]

@@GordonChung Thank you very much. Will take that on board.

[@sasdf2215]

Hi Gordon, Just a quick Q. I have my interview tomorrow. Do you get marked down for looking down at your notes and writing during your 30s reading time?

[@GordonChung]

I don’t recommend looking at your notes while answering questions, but I think you can write stuff before answering

[@sasdf2215]

@@GordonChung Thank you ! I won’t look down when speaking - but just think it would be very helpful to jot down a few words when reading the situational judgement Q’s
