"I was born and raised in California, and I've been a working professional in the banking industry for my whole career, straight out of college. I started working for Lincoln Savings and loan, which was later absorbed by Great Western Bank, which was later absorbed by Washington Mutual, which was later absorbed by JP Morgan Chase. I've gone through many internal changes and structures over the years, am adaptable, and have grown in my career. Yet, I have gotten to a place where I crave a little more stability and decided it might be worth exploring a move to one of the most stable in the field, and that's with Wells Fargo. I don't mind working for JP Morgan Chase; they're a good company. But I never chose their company, rather than ending up there. So I wanted my next move to be on my terms."

This question is typically the first asked in an interview. It aims to see how you present yourself. Similar to an elevator pitch, it is your moment to hook them into considering you as a viable candidate. Convey who you are as a person and as a professional. The basics you'll want to share are the four stages of who you are as a professional, encompassing your career journey: who you are, why you are here, where you come from, and where you are going.

Here are several value propositions Wells Fargo uses to recruit talent to their company, highlighting the work environment and culture. "Work where you feel valued and your opinion matters. Don't be shy. Bring yourself to work. No dimmer, no filter. Your past, present, and future self is welcome. There are no requirements except just to be who you are. We all want to feel like we matter. Because we do. At Wells Fargo, you're always welcome, seen and heard. We are committed to allowing you to show up as you are. It's simple. No fancy words or unmet promises. Join us and learn more about how we're working together to create a better company for all."

In a HireVue assessment, avoid rambling or communicating in a non-linear or messy fashion. Avoid delivering roundabout answers. Before your interview, compose a capsule bio of about 200 words. This should cover a description of your life relevant to the position. Personal information worth sharing is where you were born, a blurb about your parents and upbringing, significant educational and professional achievements, any role models or inspirational moments, and why you are here today. Rehearse it, ensuring you come across as relaxed, engaging, and relatable.
