What makes you an effective problem solver?
Consider the skills and qualities that help you successfully face problems or get through a challenging project. Share your strengths as a problem solver and your ability to come up with innovative solutions for your clients. PwC is looking for employees who have "shared aspirations and expectations" with their own and "guide how we make decisions and treat others." For example, these statements were compiled from their website; "PwC's community of solvers has a long history of figuring out some of the world's most important problems. They bring diverse perspectives, curiosity, and ingenuity to every challenge, asking the right questions to deliver human-led, tech-powered products made for your specific needs."
Your personal space is a reflection of your professionalism and work ethic. When answering questions about your work style, resourcefulness, and how organized you are in a recorded interview, you'll also want your personal appearance and space to reflect that you are organized and structured. Choose a space for your recorded interview that is clear of distractions, not too cluttered, and neat, tidy, and organized.
Here is some additional advice from HireVue when facing questions such as this one: "Treat it like any other interview. Prepare for your HireVue like you would for any job interview. Always do some research about the job and company, and spend some time thinking about how your skills align with the job requirements. Employers enjoy hearing about your learning ability, problem-solving skills, dependability, and ability to be a team player. To prepare, create a list of brief stories about challenges you've faced, approaches you took, and results you achieved at previous jobs or in school. Study them and become comfortable talking about your previous (and current) roles. You can even keep your notes next to you in case you need a reminder during the interview."
"I can do my best to answer that question, but I would also advise you to ask this same question of my references. It seems like my whole life, people have come to me for advice and insight into how to solve their problems. I have an engineering mind, I suppose. When I analyze anything, I take it apart and mentally put it back together in a more organized fashion. I keep asking questions until I hone in on which ones are the right questions and then try to answer those questions by taking the most customized approach based on the given need."
