Where did the first Wells Fargo open?
"The first branch of Wells Fargo opened in San Francisco, CA."
"On the same block as the Wells Fargo Museum, which rests on Montgomery St, between California St and Sacramento Street, in San Francisco, CA."
Another approach to answering questions about your company knowledge is approaching your research as if you are getting a head start on your onboarding and embracing the company's history, values, and culture. By doing this research, you'll more effectively communicate that you are the right fit for the job.
For example, did you know there is a Wells Fargo Museum? "History comes alive at the Wells Fargo Museum in San Francisco. On the same block where Wells Fargo first opened for business in 1852, visitors can explore artifacts from our past and reflect on the people who helped build our world today."
In any interview, try not to come across as being caught off guard by a question. Demonstrate that you are relaxed, confident, emotionally mature, and prepared for anything that comes your way. Communicate clearly, enunciate your words, and avoid stutters and long pauses. Additionally, even though you want to practice, you also want to avoid sounding too rehearsed, which carries the risk of making you sound wooden. Lastly, in a HireVue interview, you want to maintain eye contact with the camera lens to render as if you're speaking face-to-face with a person. Remember, the hiring authority might be reviewing the footage later, so this is for their benefit as much as it is for the algorithm's analysis.
