Round 1: Online Assessment (30-45 min)

What to expect

• The first hurdle is often an online assessment or HireVue screening. For many Internal Audit roles this includes behavioral questions, situational judgment, and some analytical questions.

Example / reported questions

• Why internal audit?

• Tell me about a time you worked in a team.

• How do you manage your time when you have multiple deadlines?

Tips

• Be ready to answer behavioral questions succinctly (often recorded responses).

• Use the STAR method (Situation → Task → Action → Result) even in video format.

• Be prepared to speak about analytical experiences: data handling, process improvement, risk awareness.

• Use Nora AI’s Mock interviewer to rehearse responses to typical assessment-questions.

Round 2: Video / HireVue Interview (~15-30 min)

What to expect

• This round may be the online video interview where you’re given 30 seconds to prepare and around ~2 minutes to respond per question. You may get 3-5 questions and limited retries.

Example / reported questions

• Give an example of a time you improved an already existing process.

• What makes you a good fit for this position?

• Tell me about a time you worked under pressure or with tight deadlines.

• How would you handle finding an error in a report that is about to go to senior leadership?

Tips

• Record yourself and review clarity, tone, and pace — video format matters.

• Choose one or two strong behavioral stories and adapt them to different prompts quickly.

• Make your “why internal audit” story pop: emphasize integrity, curiosity, controls-mindset.

• Use Nora AI’s Mock Interviewer to get used to timed, recorded, behavioral responses.

Round 3: Full-Day Interviews / Superday (Zoom or On-Site)

What to expect

• This is the major stage: several back-to-back interviews (typically with associates and managers) each 30 minutes. Mostly behavioral + scenario questions though analytical control-oriented queries may appear.

Example / reported questions

• Describe a time you had to work with a team member who disagreed with you.

• What is a risk in the banking business you think the firm needs to monitor, and why?

• Tell me about a time you found a problem in data or process; how did you respond?

• How do you prioritize your work when you have multiple audits/projects due at same time?

• Why internal audit and why J.P. Morgan Chase?

Tips

• Prepare 4-5 strong stories covering teamwork, conflict, leadership, learning, and analytical thinking.

• Understand the firm’s business lines and some current risk areas (e.g., fintech regulation, cyber risk).

• Be personable, show enthusiasm, ask thoughtful questions about the team and role.
