The 2027 Global Private Bank Investment Solutions Program at JPMorganChase, the Hong Kong summer internship, opens with a recorded HireVue before a human joins the process, and it cuts a lot of people early. The ones who clear it usually practiced the real questions rather than improvising into a webcam on 30 seconds of prep. This question is behavioral, and it is really about turning research into a decision, which is what an advisor does all day.
Here is the exact wording:
Provide an example of a project where you sought out relevant information and used it to develop a plan of action. Describe the situation, the actions you took, and the outcome.
The prompt gives you the structure: situation, actions, outcome. The piece candidates underweight is the connection in the middle. Doing a lot of research is not the point. The information has to visibly shape the plan.
Where candidates go wrong
- Research with no plan. Reciting everything you read is not a plan of action. Show how it drove a decision.
- A plan with no real digging. If the plan was obvious anyway, you skipped the part being tested. Show the effort to find what was not on the surface.
- Vague about the information. "I researched a lot" says nothing. Name the sources: interviews, data, a competitor teardown, a specific report.
- No outcome. The question asks for it directly. A plan with no result is effort without impact.
- Hiding your own role. In a group project, say what you specifically sought out and decided. They are grading you.
What a strong answer does
A strong answer rides the situation, actions, outcome frame the prompt hands you. Open with a concrete project: a case competition, a research paper, a club investment pitch, a work task where you had to figure something out before acting. Name the specific information you chased and why, then show the plan following straight from what you found, such as a data point that killed the obvious option and pointed to a better one.
Then give the outcome plainly: the pitch won, the recommendation was adopted, the project shipped on time. Close on the habit underneath it, that you collect evidence before committing to a plan, which is exactly how an advisor builds a recommendation for a client. Keep it near ninety seconds with your role in front.
Get the ones for your role
This is only one of the four questions, and the rest are behavioral in the same way. Picking your project ahead of time beats scrambling on the timer. OfferTutoring keeps the full JPMorganChase Global Private Bank Investment Solutions question set if you want your examples ready before you record.
