What this is
In the Deloitte 2027 Video Interview, this multi-part prompt tests selection as much as self-description. Strong candidates choose details that fit together and reveal how their preferences translate into behavior.
The real question
Answer the whole prompt, but let one idea connect its separate parts:
Hi, tell me about yourself. Tell me more about what you like and dislike. What are your hobbies and what are your goals?
How you lose points
- Answering every clause equally. Mechanical balance can make the response sound like a checklist.
- Performing a perfect personality. Claiming to like everything and dislike nothing removes evidence of honest self-awareness.
- Choosing a risky dislike. Attacking routine, feedback, detail, or collaboration can contradict the demands of many professional settings.
- Forcing every hobby into a job skill. The connection should be genuine rather than an artificial lesson.
- Making the goal dependent on a title. A capability-based direction is more grounded than assuming a promotion or exact outcome.
How you pass
Create a two-minute identity arc. Move from your current focus to what energizes you, show one constructive tension, and finish with an aim that follows logically from the evidence.
- Lead with relevance. Select education, work, or project context that helps the listener understand you now.
- Show a preference in action. Explain how a genuine like affects the way you approach a task.
- Demonstrate regulation. Pair a dislike with the routine you use to keep it from harming performance.
- Use the hobby to add dimension. Give one concrete detail that would invite a natural follow-up.
For example, a hypothetical candidate could describe enjoying work that combines independent analysis with discussion, disliking avoidable ambiguity but addressing it through early questions and written next steps, and pursuing a hobby built around patient improvement. Their longer-term goal could be to make increasingly sound decisions while communicating them clearly to others. The answer feels personal because each claim has behavior behind it.
