You’ve submitted a report, but there is a mistake in a rarely reviewed part. What do you do?
In such a situation, my priority would be to act promptly and transparently. First, I would re-examine the report and identify the nature and extent of the error, ensuring I fully understand the implications. Since the mistake occurs in a part that is rarely reviewed, I would consider the possibility that it might not be immediately noticed but could have long-term consequences if left unaddressed. Next, I would approach my manager to inform them of the mistake. Transparency is crucial in maintaining trust and credibility. I would clearly explain the error, its potential impact, and propose solutions to correct it. By taking ownership of the situation, I demonstrate accountability and responsibility. In determining how to proceed, I would consider whether the mistake could affect other teams or stakeholders. If necessary, I would collaborate with those involved to ensure that the report is corrected, and any miscommunication is resolved. I believe this approach not only prevents the issue from escalating but also shows my commitment to maintaining high-quality work. While I understand that mistakes happen, addressing them swiftly and taking corrective action reflects integrity and professionalism.

How to practise for Goldman Sachs video interviews
Build examples of integrity and workplace dilemmas — a mistake in your work, a group conflict — each with an action and a result.
Prepare a stock or company view with the reason you would buy it and the two factors you weigh first.
Practise explaining a technical concept, such as a data structure, to a non-technical person without jargon.
Follow one current event each week and be ready to say how it could affect financial markets.
For recorded answers, keep to the time limit, speak steadily to the camera and avoid filler.
Questions candidates ask
What kind of questions come up in Goldman Sachs video interviews?
Our Goldman Sachs packs include questions such as 'You've submitted a report, but there is a mistake in a rarely reviewed part. What do you do?', 'What stock would you invest in and why?', and 'Explain array, set, and map to a non-engineer'. Recurring themes are integrity, teamwork, market awareness and stock evaluation.
How should I structure my answers in a recorded video interview?
Give your answer first, support it with one or two points, then close. For behavioural questions, use situation, action, result. For market questions, name the stock or event, your view and one risk. Keep inside the time limit and speak to the camera rather than reading notes.
Which Goldman Sachs pack should I start with?
Match your division. For general graduate roles, start with 'Video Interview – Behavioural & Integrity Scenarios'; for wealth and asset management, use 'Wealth Management Video Interview – Motivation, Markets & Competency'; for FICC and IBD, use 'FICC & IBD Video Interview'. Add 'Video Interview – Ethics, Adversity & Markets' for sales and trading.
Our question banks are compiled from questions reported by candidates who took the actual recruitment assessments and interviews.
