"I would say that I am putting the power of peoples' own money in their hands by helping them make more informed and wiser financial decisions."

It is becoming a more and more regular practice for career-minded professionals to craft their personal brand, which describes the values they embrace, and what sets them apart. This is typically accompanied by a brand statement, which serves as an elevator pitch on what they have to offer. PNC is interested in how well-crafted your personal brand is and how well yours aligns with theirs. Do your research before your interview to determine how your values align with theirs and identify what makes you a good fit for each other. As PNC states on their website, "From power skills to personal brand, learn what we are looking for."

Craft your personal brand before your interview and rehearse it. This should include your branding statement and core values and be delivered in direct and succinct language, similar to the language of PNC. Use professional adjectives to describe yourself and your mission, such as career-focused, ambitious, persistent, genuine, patient, enthusiastic, disciplined, and passionate.
