Tell me about your learning style and study patterns.
"I prefer to learn at an independent pace where there is little pressure from others to absorb important information in a way specific to their learning styles."
The interviewer would like to know more about your learning methods and level of discipline. Think back to your education - high school or post-secondary - and determine what you did to ensure that your work was completed thoroughly and on time.
- Perhaps you are a visual learner who utilizes images to recall information.
- Some students prefer to listen to music while studying.
- Researchers know that some students are kinesthetic learners and commit data to memory when moving or using hands-on tools.
- Flashcards and charts work well for students who think more logically.
- Studying in a group or a social setting is helpful for some while hindering others.
"I am a visual learner. While completing my first electrician course, I watched a lot of online tutorials. This method helped me to commit particular steps to memory. This method of studying helped me a great deal when learning advanced circuit board techniques. I was a diligent student."

While studying for the SECTT exam, I had to revise for mathematics problems I had not considered since school, over ten years ago. While watching online videos on YouTube and Khan Academy was helpful, I found that repetition in practicing these problems allowed the formulas to be cemented in my mind. I also discovered while laboring in Melbourne that the physical practice with hand tools quickly increased my competency.
