Pretty much the most low-stakes question you can get, but I still fumbled it a bit.
Choose 2-3 genuine hobbies or activities that reflect positively on your character—such as continuous learning, teamwork, or resilience—and briefly explain how they connect to your professional growth. Keep the answer concise and authentic, avoiding controversial topics or anything that suggests you have no life outside work.
Pro tip: Mention at least one activity that involves collaboration or problem-solving, as PwC values teamwork and adaptability; this subtly reinforces your fit for the role without directly selling yourself.
Pick 2-3 hobbies that demonstrate transferable skills like teamwork, creativity, or continuous learning. Avoid passive activities that don't add value.
Briefly explain how each activity has helped you develop skills relevant to software engineering or consulting, such as problem-solving or collaboration.
Be genuine and enthusiastic; interviewers can tell if you're fabricating. Highlight how these activities help you maintain work-life balance and stay energized.
Limit your answer to 1-2 minutes, focusing on the most impactful points. Don't ramble or list too many activities.
If possible, link an activity to PwC's values or the demands of the role, such as enjoying team sports that require strategy and communication.
