I landed my first job straight out of college, where I've worked hard to accomplish many of the career goals I set for myself..."

This introductory question will help them gauge how professional you are and how well your personality will fit in with the rest of the team. You'll want to answer as professionally and succinctly as possible. Before the interview, compose a capsule bio of about 200 words that describes your life as relevant to the position. You can include personal information such as where you were born, a blurb about your parents and upbringing, educational and professional achievements, and why you are here today. Rehearse it, ensuring you come across as relaxed, interesting, and relatable.

HireVue uses proprietary machine learning algorithms that analyze data points in the video interview to predict a candidate's future job performance. HireVue assesses those data points to identify the top performers and those most suited to the company's goals and culture. You'll be allowed roughly 20-30 seconds per question to formulate your response. You'll get roughly three minutes to record each answer. You won't be given any second takes and will only get one opportunity to deliver your answers, so practice. Some questions may take longer to answer than others, depending on the questions. Take only as much time as you need.

I was born in a small town called Bhongir, in south India. I have grown up in a business environment, where my mother established a small convenient store with just 200 bucks which she had expanded and has branches for it. She is my inspiration for my life, how one can achieve their goals after following their passion with consistent hard work. I went to college and have a Bachelor in Commerce, where I have been attracted to finance and enrolled for my post-graduation and completed it with flying colors. Parallelly, I have also completed my certified financial planner (CFP CM), India course through which I have joined my first job as an Investment advisor, and in just six months I have been promoted to a manager. Then in order to boost my career I thought to do my MBA in Canada and start the second innings of my career, here I am now.

Wow! Excellent job. Your response is thorough, informative, and personal, which is great. It's wonderful that your mother has been such a great role model and inspiration for you. The interviewer will be pleased to hear that you're ambitious and willing to work hard. You've done a good job of describing the experience, education, and qualities that you bring to the table. Consider connecting all of this to the role itself at the end of your response. Explain how your background makes you the ideal candidate for this position. Nice!

I am a graduate student at UNI, majoring in accounting. I’m so excited to have this chance to talk with you. The position I am interested in is tax summer intern. The reason why I’m interested in tax is because I know tax is the primary revenue for the US gov. And there are some issues for citizens and private companies to do tax filing. So as an accounting student, I really want to help them to deal with tax problems, and decrease their anxieties about this. I think my advantage is that I’m patient, responsible, and outgoing, have meticulous attention to detail skills. Also, I can use Ultra Tax, excel, word, and PowerPoint proficiently. I’ve been using them for 6-7 years in work and study. Also, I had some work experience in resident and non-resident individual and small business tax before, so I am able to contact clients in person and show professional etiquette.

I have been in the banking industry for 5 years. I started as a Management Trainee and had projects in Operational Risk Management to finally be designated in Product Management, Business Development, and Product Strategy roles. My last education is a Master of Science in Islamic Finance & Banking, so I specialize in planning, building, launching, and maintaining banking products that cater to customers’ needs while generating profits for the bank. As I’ve thought about my next steps, I realized I wanted to transition into a consulting role because Consulting provides exceptional opportunities to work on a wider range of projects, with a variety of colleagues and clients that will accelerate my skills and career.
