This ice-breaker is designed to get you out of interview mode and give them a glimpse of your personality. They, in effect, want to get to know you as a person to see how well you'll fit in with their teams and be able to work with and relate to their clients. So offer them your bio and all the qualifying selling points of you as a person and a professional. Showcase your best self and put your best self forward.

PwC describes building trust as the core of everything they do. "It guides how we serve our clients, our people and the world. To help our clients build trust and deliver sustained outcomes." So this should be the goal of your answer, to build trust with your interview, and show them how and why you are driven in your career, and how you thrive on building solutions with sustained outcomes.

"Since I was young, I have wanted to help people. I was always that person others would come to for advice. I've always been very solutions-oriented, and when I was trying to determine what career I wanted to pursue, I remember my mother said that I should do what I was good at, and that was helping others. I always had good business sense, too. So that led to me landing on this career path, which I still find exceedingly rewarding."

"I come from a very simple and humble family in Romania but I wanted to create a new life with opportunities and personal growth. I understood from a very young age, that the world offered more possibilities than I could access in my native country. And my ambition and hunger for knowledge became my driving force."
