HR Interview

receive a request to complete SHL assessments which
are made up of two - three components depending on

Interview Preparation Advice
1. Be Yourself
We want to learn more about your background and
personal experiences to see how and where you might fit at
PwC. Take some time to reflect and come prepared with
some relevant examples to support your answers to
competency based questions.
2. Understanding How You Solve Problems
If you apply for a role in Deals or Consulting you’ll be asked
to analyze a case study and develop solutions to the client
challenge it poses. The case will typically be based on a real
PwC project, giving you insight into what it’s like to work
here.
Often, there are no right or wrong answers; instead, we’re
evaluating your analytical and strategic skills, and the
ability to make a strong case for your recommendations.
Many websites offer practice case studies to help you
familiarize yourself with the type of problem solving that
will be expected from you.

This is your chance to ask questions about life at PwC,
including your interviewer’s personal experiences. Our
interviewers will evaluate your ability to listen and
communicate effectively, and whether you present yourself
positively and persuasively. We value intellectual curiosity
and creative thinking, so make sure you do your due
diligence and see what pops up when you search ‘PwC ME’
online.
