Talk about a time you adapted your style for someone very different from you.
I worked with a detail-driven engineer who preferred written specifics to workshops. I switched to concise written updates with checklists and screenshots, agreed micro-milestones, and kept meetings short and focused. I also asked for early flags on risks instead of end-of-week surprises. Our throughput improved, defects dropped, and we trusted each other’s style. The lesson was to meet people where they are, then co-create a rhythm that works for both sides. Adapting isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about changing the medium so the message lands.
Model answers are practice examples written for this catalogue, not the employer’s answers or scoring guidance. Compare the structure and level of detail, then answer with your own experience.
How to practise for EY video interview and assessment centre and interviews
Prepare a clear reason for choosing your service line over others, and practise saying it in under a minute.
Build examples of adapting your style to a stakeholder, explaining a complicated point simply, and handling a difficult client request.
For assessment centres, rehearse a short presentation and the follow-up questions on how you prepared and what you would change.
Practise ethical and conflict scenarios out loud, giving your judgement, the action you took and the outcome.
For recorded questions, keep answers inside the time limit, speak to the camera and avoid reading from notes.
Questions candidates ask
What kind of questions come up in EY interviews?
Our EY packs include questions such as 'Why EY — and why Technology Risk rather than Assurance or Cyber?', 'How would you build relationships with clients?', and 'How did you prepare?'. Recurring themes are service-line motivation, stakeholder and client scenarios, teamwork, resilience and case-presentation follow-up.
How should I structure my answers in an EY interview or assessment centre?
Use situation, action, result for behavioural and competency questions, and keep each answer to about two minutes. For motivation questions, name the service line, one reason it suits you and one thing you have done that fits. In case follow-ups, refer back to your own analysis rather than repeating the brief.
Which EY pack should I start with?
Match your market and stage. For the UK, start with 'Partner Interview – Technology Risk' or 'Partner Interview – Transaction Diligence' if that is your service line; for Australia, use 'Assessment Centre Interview – Teamwork & Competency'. Video-interview packs cover assurance, consulting and extended assurance stages.
Our question banks are compiled from questions reported by candidates who took the actual recruitment assessments and interviews.
Packs are preparation material, not a prediction of your assessment questions. Model answers are practice examples, not the employer’s answers or scoring guidance. Check the question excerpts, role, market and stage before choosing a pack.
Every pack opens in your browser after purchase. The Questions edition has every question in the pack; the With answers edition adds a model answer to each answered question. Prices are in GBP. The full list of EY packs is in the catalogue.
