6 practice questions for the JPMorganChase video interview
A question appears on screen and you answer it to a camera, with nobody on the other end. You get one take, and the clock stops you whether you have finished or not.
Every question here is built from the competencies JPMorganChase publishes, or published word for word by a named source. None of them are JPMorganChase's interview questions, and this site has no connection to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
Sources last read 21 August 2026. Every claim on this page links to the page it came from.
What JPMorganChase publishes about this stage
Every line is something JPMorganChase put on its own website, with the page and the date it was read beside it.
“An on-demand/recorded interview utilizes interviewing technology that presents questions and allows you to record your responses.”
“For certain job opportunities, you may be required to take an on-demand/recorded video interview to evaluate your skills such as language proficiency, verbal presentation and/or technical abilities.”
“Your device (laptop, desktop or mobile) must be equipped with a camera and microphone. As you will be on camera, professional business attire and a distraction-free environment are recommended.”
What JPMorganChase does not publish
The things people most want a number for. Nobody outside the process has one. Where another page hands you a confident figure for any of these, ask it where the figure came from.
“You will be provided a designated timeframe to record your responses.”
Not published as a number. JPMorganChase says only that a designated timeframe is provided.
“Examples of some of the types of assessments we use include structured live interviews, on-demand/recorded interviews, and virtual skills assessments.”
No game stage appears in JPMorganChase's published assessment list, which names 'structured live interviews, on-demand/recorded interviews, and virtual skills assessments'.
Practice these questions on a timer
The recorder on this page uploads nothing. Camera and microphone are recorded into your browser's own memory, played back from there, and destroyed when you move on or close the tab. There is no fetch, no beacon and no form post in this widget, and you do not have to take that on faith: open your Network tab, record an answer, and watch that nothing is sent.
The graded scorecard linked below is a different page and works differently. Your video still never leaves your browser, because no route on this site accepts video. The audio of each answer goes once to our server and straight on to a speech-to-text service to be turned into text, then is dropped. We never store it. The text is what gets graded and the text is what we keep. This page also loads the site's analytics tags; all of it is set out in the privacy notice.
30 seconds to prepare, then up to 3 minutes to answer. JPMorganChase does not publish its timings, so these are this site's defaults, not JPMorganChase's. Treat them as a realistic worst case, not a fact about JPMorganChase.
6 questions, one take each. No follow-ups, because there is nobody on the other end.
This browser does not support in-page recording. The timed drill still works: the questions and both clocks run exactly the same.
Free account, no card. Grading is a separate step, linked below: your first 2 mocks come back scored for free, and no card is needed there either.
Read aloud uses your browser's own built-in speech voice. It is not an AI interviewer, and nothing on this screen is generated by AI.

| Question | Prep used | Answer length | How it ended |

Clock measurements taken in your browser. They say nothing about whether the answers were any good. That is what the graded scorecard is for, and your first 2 come back free.
6 questions to practice, and where each one comes from
These are not JPMorganChase's interview questions. Nobody outside JPMorganChase has those. Each prompt below is either published word for word by the source named under it, or built from a competency JPMorganChase publishes, and it says which, every time.
-
1
Tell me about a time you put a client's or customer's need ahead of your own convenience.
Competency: Exceptional client service
Built from a published competencyBuilt from JPMorganChase's published principle 'We focus on the customer'. Practice prompt, not a JPMorgan question.
JPMorganChase — Our Business Principles, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Client can mean a customer, a stakeholder, a society member, or a coursemate you were building something for. What it cannot mean is nobody.
-
2
Describe a time you held work to a higher standard than anyone had asked for.
Competency: Operational excellence
Built from a published competencyBuilt from JPMorganChase's published principle 'We set the highest standards of performance'. Practice prompt, not a JPMorgan question.
JPMorganChase — Our Business Principles, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Say what the standard actually was in numbers, and what you gave up in time to hold it.
-
3
Tell me about a time you had to face an uncomfortable fact about your own work.
Competency: Facing facts
Built from a published competencyBuilt from JPMorganChase's published principle 'We face facts'. Practice prompt, not a JPMorgan question.
JPMorganChase — Our Business Principles, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Name the fact in the first ten seconds. The score is in what you did next, and there is no time for a long run-up.
-
4
Describe a time you kept going on something after it stopped being interesting.
Competency: Fortitude
Built from a published competencyBuilt from JPMorganChase's published principle 'We have fortitude'. Practice prompt, not a JPMorgan question.
JPMorganChase — Our Business Principles, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
Give the duration. Fortitude answers are graded on how long, not how hard.
-
5
Tell me about a time you had to explain something complicated to someone who did not want to hear it.
Competency: A great team and winning culture
Built from a published competencyBuilt from JPMorganChase's published principle 'We communicate honestly, clearly and consistently', read together with its published statement that the recorded interview evaluates 'verbal presentation'. Practice prompt, not a JPMorgan question.
JPMorganChase — Our Business Principles, read 21 August 2026
What a strong answer contains
This is the question that most rewards concision. If the explanation inside your answer is not clear, the answer has failed by demonstration.
-
6
Talk me through a recent news story you found interesting - what impact might it have on our work?
Competency: Commercial awareness
Published word for word by the sourcePublished by LSE Careers (September 2020) under 'Motivation'. Not a JPMorgan question. The dash and the question mark are LSE's own punctuation, kept as printed rather than smoothed, because the label above says word for word.
LSE Careers — Example Interview Questions, read 21 August 2026, published September 2020
What a strong answer contains
One story, one mechanism, one consequence for the division you applied to. Two stories is worse than one. This is the commercial-awareness dimension in its purest form and the one finance candidates most often fluff by summarizing the news without drawing a line to the business.

Is it allowed to practice with an AI tool?
JPMorganChase has not published a candidate AI policy that we could find, as of 21 August 2026.
That is the whole finding. It is not permission and it is not a ban, and this page is not going to turn it into either. What is not in doubt is the line every employer that has published one draws in the same place: preparing beforehand is one thing, using a tool during the assessment is another. Do not use this or anything else while you are being assessed.
If JPMorganChase publishes a policy later, this page changes. Until then it says what it can source.
Every source on this page
Glassdoor and Reddit are not used anywhere on this site. Glassdoor's terms forbid commercial reuse and deep-linking; Reddit requires a commercial data license. A build gate fails if either domain appears in the data behind these pages.

What this page is, and what it is not
- NailedIt.ai is not affiliated with JPMorgan Chase & Co. or with any employer named on this site, and nothing here is endorsed by them.
- These are not real interview questions. They are practice prompts built from the competencies JPMorganChase publishes, plus questions published by the named sources.
- Practicing does not make you more likely to be hired. It makes you less likely to be surprised by a hard stop at 3 minutes.
- This is a preparation tool. Do not use it, or anything like it, during an actual assessment.
- The simulator on this page runs no AI. The graded scorecard is AI-generated and is labeled as such wherever it appears. Your first 2 scorecards are free; after that, more scorecards and the coaching (rewritten answers and drills) come with the Interview-Ready plan.
Of the 6 prompts above, 1 is published word for word by a named source and 5 are built from a competency JPMorganChase publishes. 3 process facts come from JPMorganChase's own pages. 4 of the things people most want a number for are not published anywhere, and they are left blank above rather than filled in.
