PWC video interview questions and strategy

Introduction

A few years ago PWC (PricewaterhouseCoopers) changed their hiring procedures to include something called a video interview or a HireVue interview.

The purpose of these video interviews is to save everyone time.  You don’t have to drive or fly in for an in-person interview when the PWC hiring manager has already made up their mind on another applicant.  And the hiring manager doesn’t have to sit through an interview with someone that clearly isn’t interested or appropriate for the job.

So it’s a win-win right?  

Sort of.  

HireVue interviews can be very stressful for applicants since there is no live interviewer asking questions. Many applicants have told us this gives them anxiety since there is no way to know if your answers were solid or could be improved, which snowballs into a bad interview.

You can gain some confidence before your interview by practicing for PWC’s video interview on a platform like Voomer, where you can practice on PWC sample questions and get instant, AI-powered feedback on your answers.

Let’s walk you through the PWC HireVue interview and later you’ll be able to download some sample PWC HireVue interview questions.

What happens on PWC’s video interview?

PWC’s video interview is hosted by a platform called HireVue.  In a HireVue interview, you’ll record yourself answering questions.

Those questions might be shown to you as a couple of lines of text or they might be displayed as a pre-recorded video by someone at PWC asking you that question.

Then, you’ll get around 1 minute to prepare your answer and around 3 minutes to answer.

The number of questions varies, so be ready to answer anything from 2 to 5 questions.  

You can answer on your cell phone, laptop, or desktop computer – as long as it has a camera.  However, I strongly recommend using a laptop or desktop.

PWC’s HireVue interview specifics

After receiving the link to your PWC video interview, you’ll typically have to complete the interview within 72 hours.

PWC is a professional services firm, so the vast majority of questions are going to be related to that business and your attitude answering those questions should be one of a person who understands and wants to grow in that business.

We can also take a look at PWC’s values, and it’s pretty clear what they are interested in:

  • Act with integrity
  • Make a difference
  • We care
  • We work together
  • We reimagine the possible

So make sure you frame your answers in the sense that you want to make a difference, that you value teamwork, think out of the box and – last but not least – have strong work ethics and integrity.

We’ve not been able to send you a Question Bank, but at Voomer you can start practicing with these questions now.

How to prepare for PWC’s video interview

Start with what you can control.

Start your interview in a place that is quiet – away from kids, pets, lawnmowers, etc. Not only will the person viewing your video have a hard time understanding you, loud noises right when you are about to answer a question might sap your confidence.

Even though you might be at home, dress as if you were at an in-person interview. People viewing your answers appreciate the professionalism of someone that took the time to think about this issue and record using appropriate clothing.

Lighting is absolutely key. If you record in an environment with low light, you’ll come across as a blurry, barely recognizable mess on video – which does not help your chances of getting hired.  Open your curtains to let in lots of natural light or turn on lights to brighten up the environment.  When it comes to lighting, more is always better – as long as the lights aren’t pointed at your camera!

Use the STAR method to organize your answer into easy to understand sections that makes the hiring manager’s life simple!

Last but not least – PRACTICE! HireVue interviews can be extremely stressful. The only way to gain confidence in these interviews is by getting used to them and understanding how to best answer the questions.

Voomer is a great way to do all that since you can practice on sample PWC HireVue interview questions and get instant AI-powered feedback on your answers so you can land that job!

The Ultimate York University Schulich MBA Kira Interview Question Bank

Introduction

Everything submitted. Application done. “Oh wait what?! There is some sort of video requirement?”. Yes, that’s right you’ve just remembered you have to complete a video interview (as York University’s Schulich School of Business – calls it, or the “Kira interview” which is what everyone calls it!) as part of your application to proceed – and you definitely don’t want this derailing your application.

The York University Schulich School of Business requires a Kira interview

We’ve researched an extensive, but not exhaustive, set of possible questions to help with your preparation – and guess what! All these prompts are built into Voomer’s AI-powered video assessment tools.

York’s Schulich MBA Kira interview structure

York University’s Schulich School of Business MBA admissions started using Kira interviews as part of their admissions process some years ago, and this academic year is no different.

Admissions wants applicants to have a chance to make their case in a more interesting medium such as video, since the essays and test scores can be very dry.

The way the Kira interview works is as follows:  A few weeks after you submit your application and you are successful in getting approved by the first stage of the admissions process, you will receive a video interview invitation by email.

After receiving the invitation, you will have a few days to complete the video interview – make sure you use that time to prepare with a platform like Voomer, don’t rush off and record your answers immediately.

York’s Schulich MBA Kira Interview Questions

The questions you’ll be asked in your Kira interview can be split into two main categories.  

The first category will be behavioral questions, which will take a look at the competencies that York’s Schulich is interested in.  You’ve probably been asked one of those before, they usually start with “tell me about a time when…”.

We wrote a great article on how to tackle those here.

The second category will be questions that probe your motivation and drive.  For example, those questions will ask you about the reasons for deciding to apply for an MBA.

There is a third category, but it rarely shows up on Kira interviews, so we won’t go into too much depth in this article.  These are questions that probe technical knowledge in your field of expertise, what the latest innovations are, etc. Since those questions are highly context-dependent and Kira is a “one size fits all” solution, they rarely crop up.


Your question bank sample is on the way!
