Entry Level

"I just finished college and moved back to college. I am now looking for opportunities in my hometown. I want to fit the right fit, which has to be mutual. Wells Fargo seemed like the perfect fit, and the company seems to have goals and a work environment in line with what I am looking for. Likewise, I believe I possess the qualities Wells Fargo is looking for in their candidates."

General

"When I started with my current employer, I had a set of goals to accomplish towards my career growth. Over the last five years, I have succeeded in achieving those milestones, and my current employers were very generous in facilitating these goals. However, every year I revise my career plan. It has since evolved, as have the directions I want to take in my career. Unfortunately, my current employer cannot facilitate this. They have offered me promotions to accommodate; however, there doesn't seem to be much opportunity for growth beyond those positions. So, I've given them a few months' notice, and I have their blessings, and we are working together to facilitate a smooth transition for them and me."

Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

In any interview, the goal of this question is to identify any potential red flags and determine whether you are leaving your current employer on amicable or acrimonious terms. Ultimately, making a positive career move is an excellent reason to leave a current employer, with their blessings and well wishes, versus leaving what you might call a toxic work environment and potentially bringing that toxicity with you. Consider how to phrase your reasons for looking for employment at this stage in your career.

What You Need to Know

HireVue offers several packages to their clients. Some have a HireVue screen for only the top performers with their report and analysis and filter out the rest. Others don't request the report and review the recorded videos themselves. Another feature allows the hiring authority to review multiple recorded interviews side by side to compare the candidates to each other with each question. But it's best to go into each question knowing this, and perform at your best, regardless.
