PWC Flying Start Degree Apprenticeships 2024!

Original post by Caprisun202

Hi, I noticed the other PWC flying start degree apprenticeship chat isn't working. Well, it isn't for me, I don't know if its the same for everyone else😅😅.

anyways, I'm about to do the video interview soon😭. How many questions are there? and how long would the whole things take approximately?

Also any tips/advice on how to prepare will be appreciated😁....apparently the questions are not like the usual ones soo I'm kinda nervous!😭

im also preparing for my VI, I know it's a small number of questions and the basic ones will probably show like "why do you want to work for PwC"

I attempted to start it a few days ago but got too anxious and froze- any tips on not to have brain mush would be appreciated. I'm also slightly scare about the situational questions as they really could as the most specific things

Are there multiple bits to a question?

And if there are any tips on mentioning them all... it'd be a bit bad if I forget and leave one out💀

GOOD LUCK!
hope it goes well for both us😭😂

Also I looked opened the link and from looking at it, I think the first question is a practice....so we only have 4 questions😁

And I'm sure the first one is "Why PWC and Why this apprenticeship?"

Which means only 3 scenario type questions 😭🥳

They basically give you a scenario and also somewhat guidance on how to answer it. Like after the scenario is shown they’ll say, ‘answer how would u do your research (just an example btw), how would u approach’ and one more point like that. Try to take at least 1-1:15 min while answering and don’t go overboard. Good luck. You can ask anything as well. Prepare why pwc and why this programme.

I'm gonna start it in a bit🥹😭

Btw after U do a question (whether that press the submit button or it cuts off cos time ran out) would it immediately go on to the next question?

Or would there be like a button to press before I can go on?

If there is a button, do U think I can take like a one min breather between questions (cos we gotta do the whole thing in one sitting)

I’m gonna be honest, I don’t remember however I think it automatically goes to the next question. So the 2 mins finishes and then boom you’re reading the next scenario. It ain’t hard but if you get nervous like me and start stuttering and ****, then you’re done for. I haven’t gotten my result back tho. Good luck
