What this is
In the UBS 2027 Global Wealth Management Video Interview, this prompt checks whether your personal interests have shaped practical strengths. A polished list of passions will not carry the answer. UBS needs to hear a believable chain from interest to action, from action to capability, and from capability to contribution.
The real question
Anchor the answer to the exact prompt:
Tell us about your passions and interests, and how they might help you succeed at UBS?
How you lose points
- Starting with a catalogue. Several hobbies named in quick succession leave no room for proof.
- Borrowing impressive interests. An interest you cannot discuss in detail creates brittle follow-up answers.
- Skipping the mechanism. The interviewer needs to hear how the activity changed your behavior.
- Claiming generic skills. Teamwork, leadership, and communication need a precise action behind them.
- Ending with empty fit language. Saying the skills are relevant to UBS is not the same as explaining the relevance.
How you pass
Build the answer around a causal bridge. Describe the interest briefly, identify the demanding part of it, and show the habit you developed in response. Finish by placing that habit in a realistic work situation.
- Use one vivid example. Give the interviewer a moment they can picture rather than a broad history.
- Show repetition. A capability is credible when it comes from something you do consistently.
- Separate enjoyment from value. Explain both why the interest matters to you and what it has trained you to do.
- Land on client impact. Relate the habit to understanding needs, communicating choices, or maintaining trust over time.
A hypothetical example could come from producing a student podcast. The candidate might explain how researching unfamiliar guests taught them to prepare sharper questions, listen for what was not said, and turn technical material into clear language. Those actions create a credible bridge to client-focused work without pretending the podcast is finance experience.
