Am not too good like most of you guys but i will try and share my experience.

First as already said, you will be required to share your view on some economic related questions. Mine was on Crime in Nigeria

After that, i was given one minute to drink water ooo. Then the behavioural questions start flowing left and right:
I will advice you look for an current local and international news you can share with them.
Know more about SME,
PwC recent activities,
What you have been doing since COVID-19
How to answer question about when your integrity was at risk
How you handle employees u can't get along with.
How you get your news or keep abreast with current happenings around you
.

I will say they build up questions from your response.

Guys anchoring bias is real, so you’d want to avoid it. If you’re yet to interview, please don’t let this unnecessary fixation on possible topics for section 1 make you nervous and unsettled.

It should be fairly obvious by now that anyone can be asked to discuss anything which implies that one is better-off focusing on interview discussion principles and techniques. Also, I believe that most of the topics you’re going to be asked to discuss are topics that on a normal day, you’d have tons of ideas about and can discuss for at least 5 minutes.

Here are a few tips for section 1 – that I think – that will enable you to come across as confident, strategic, and methodical.

1. Have a pen and paper with you so that you can write out the topic when it is being read out to you as well as relevant points about the topic that may immediately come to mind. Then request to read out to them what you just wrote and ask them to confirm if it’s correct. After this is when your time would start to count. The reason why (I think) this is crucial is that it enables you to buy some time to think about what to say.

2. Next, take a minute or two at the max to think about and write down relevant points. This leaves you with about 3 or 4 minutes to speak. The reason I consider this step a vital one is that it makes you come across as smart and strategic as opposed to someone that is quick to talk without thinking. Even if you’ve got a lot to say about a topic, it’s always good to take a couple of seconds to gather your thoughts.

3. Start with an introduction e.g., “here are 4 things that I think about this” or “what I think about this is three-fold” and take a minute to talk about each, if you fancy this approach.

4. Finally, just in case it happens that you’re presented with a topic that you’ve got zero ideas about, you could link that topic to a related one that you’re familiar with and discuss it. For e.g., say you were asked to discuss cybersecurity and you don’t really have any opinions about it, you could link it to cybercrime and discuss that instead. In this case, your intro would be sth like: “Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up with the developments on cybersecurity, but I do, however, think that it is tightly connected to the cybercrime that a handful of unemployed Nigerian youths are heavily involved with.” This makes you appear tactfully brilliant, I think.

Disclaimer: I no be expert o! Just sharing my thoughts with anyone that might find it helpful.

Goodluck.

Some people are too good and nice.
Thank you for this wonderful tips

Surname starts with O, Name starts with C��‍♂️

I don't know the logic behind the invite, but i was just scheduled Aug 17 which is the least date so far and my surname start with O".
Initially i was afraid because i submitted those required documents a little late than 12 noon.

But anyhow, be hopeful because i was there and i know how worried you are now.

Form A, should it be typed or filled with a pen? Also Form B, I saw a signature request.That's why I'm asking if it's pen-based or typing
