Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

You already may have discussed why you want to work for PwC over their competitors. Although this question seems similar to the question, "Why PwC?" it serves a different purpose. This question asks why they should want to hire you. Similarly phrased questions such as these are designed to test your attention to detail and how quickly you can think on your feet. So, answer this question by researching their company and what their ideal candidate looks like, and determine how you fit the build.

General

"I am a good fit for PwC because I am passionate about solving problems. I love puzzles, and I love a good challenge. I am not one of those people who stops at a roadblock or a brick wall. I am always convinced there is a way around that roadblock, or over it, or a secret door. I am also very results driven and never give up. Those I work with trust me when I say I will find a way or follow through on my commitments. I put my heart into everything I do and am ready to make my mark."
