PwC works with clients across many industries. Which of our clients' industries interests you the most?
Before your interview, thoroughly familiarize yourself with PwC's clients. Be prepared to list the client industries you have worked in, focusing on those relevant to this position. Show the interviewer you are "translating your skills and experience to work in PwC" and that you've done your research on them, offering your translatable experience to their sectors to build their confidence in your abilities to jump in with their clients right away.
"When researching PwC, I saw that most of your clients are in the energy, finance, and education sectors. Your experience in these areas prompted me to apply since most of my experience is also in those fields. I have a special interest in finance clients, particularly. I majored in finance while attending university, so it's a solid area for me."
"My industry expertise is in healthcare. When I saw that you were hiring, particularly for your clients in the healthcare sector, I knew I had to apply. I am highly confident working in this sector and look forward to learning about the other clients you take on at PwC, particularly those in e-commerce."

I have been recently reading articles about how PWC has been channelizing the strength and experience to help customers on business transformation through the salesforce platform. The fact that this company has been named the leader in salesforce implementation by IDC is something that interests me. I think this position will allow me to grow in this field with experts and showcase my skills

It's great that you are specifically interested in Salesforce and how it can be used to benefit different businesses. What kind of skills do you have related to Salesforce? Also, make sure to directly answer the question as well. In other words, is there a particular industry that interests you? If not, perhaps just state that you don't have a favorite per se and are open to learning more about all of them.

I'm most interested in banking and finance, as that impacts so many other industries, yet I'm open and flexible to work with most industries. My strengths lie in working with manufacturing, automotive, and services industries.
