6 practice questions for the JPMorganChase video interview

A question appears. Nobody answers back. You get one take and a clock that stops you whether you have finished or not. Here is what JPMorganChase itself publishes about that stage, what it does not, and 6 questions you can record answers to right now.

Start the timed mock Read the questions first

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 below is something JPMorganChase put on its own website, with the page it came from and the date it was read. Where it publishes nothing, this page says so instead of guessing.

What the stage actually is
technology presents questions, candidate records responses

“An on-demand/recorded interview utilizes interviewing technology that presents questions and allows you to record your responses.”

What JPMorganChase does not publish

These are the things people most want a number for. Nobody outside the process has one, so nobody should hand you one. Where a page elsewhere gives you a confident figure for any of these, ask it where the figure came from.

Games or gamified assessment
Not published

“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'.

Do it now, against the clock

The recorder on this page uploads nothing. Your camera and your microphone are recorded into your browser's own memory, played back to you from there, and destroyed when you move on, finish, or close the tab. This widget contains no upload code at all — no fetch, no beacon, no form post — and you do not have to take that on faith: open your browser's Network tab, record an answer, and watch that nothing is sent.

The graded scorecard linked below is a different page and it works differently, so here it is in plain words. Your video still never leaves your browser, because no route on this site accepts video. The audio of each answer is sent once to our server and passed straight to Groq to be turned into text, then dropped — we never store it. The text is what gets graded, and the text is what we keep. Like every page here, this one also loads the site's analytics tags; what those collect, and everything above, 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.

No account. No email. Grading is a separate step and it is linked below — your first 2 mocks come back fully graded free, with no account and no card there either.

6 questions to practise, 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. 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 competency

    Built 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. 2

    Describe a time you held work to a higher standard than anyone had asked for.

    Competency: Operational excellence

    Built from a published competency

    Built 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. 3

    Tell me about a time you had to face an uncomfortable fact about your own work.

    Competency: Facing facts

    Built from a published competency

    Built 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. 4

    Describe a time you kept going on something after it stopped being interesting.

    Competency: Fortitude

    Built from a published competency

    Built 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. 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 competency

    Built 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. 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 source

    Published 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 summarising the news without drawing a line to the business.

The competencies JPMorganChase publishes

This is the list the practice prompts above were built from. It is worth reading on its own: it is the closest thing to a published mark scheme that exists.

Is it allowed to practise 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.

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.
  • Practising 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 labelled as such wherever it appears. Your first 2 scorecards are free; grading is the part that costs money after that.

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.
