Have you ever mentored other members of your team?

"My nickname at my current employer is Coach. Anytime a new supervisor comes on board, my manager pairs them with me. I have a strong track record for getting those new to the position up to speed and on the fast track for developing their skill set."

This question will help them determine your skill level, leadership potential, sense of teamwork, and how aligned your goals are with theirs. Whether you've formally held a leadership position, helped onboard those new to the team, or shared the keys of your success with others, offer your experiences and showcase what you would have to offer PNC.

Here are some statements from PNC's website, which may guide you in formulating an answer that aligns with their philosophy and approach; "To mentor effectively, it's critical to understand individuals' skills, backgrounds and situations. As part of our motivated team, you'll help us improve and adapt our products and services for customers. But it's not just our solutions that evolve. With training, development plans and mentoring, you can drive your career path, your way."

HireVue will start recording about twenty to thirty seconds after the question appears on the screen. Once it starts recording, you'll be given about three minutes to answer each question and only one take to record your answers. Even though some questions take longer to answer than others, a common mistake people make is to try to run out the clock. But this can make an applicant seem like they are rambling on, which is a sign of messy communication. So be succinct and only take as much time as you need.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
