How would you answer this question in your Personal Fit interview? Receive feedback on your answer and browse through the Q&As to review the approaches of other applicants and experts.
All,
Describe an area which shows authenticity and a personality trait that is sought after in consulting.
For example:
I would be doing X sport with my friends
Or
I would be travelling the world and exploring new places and cultures
Often in these types of questions, it is as important (if not more important) to focus on the way you deliver the answer, rather than the content.
Hope this helps.

I would be in Medellin in Colombia, where I spent my exchange as I feel so connected with that place and love its vibrancy and connection to nature.
Amidst the serene landscapes of New Zealand, where emerald mountains embrace crystal-clear lakes. The breathtaking beauty and tranquility of Aotearoa would be my chosen haven, a place where nature's symphony harmonizes with my soul.

I want to be in Japan.
"I’d choose to be in Japan during cherry blossom season. It’s a place known for its calm beauty and balance — a great reminder to slow down and reflect, even in a busy life. Plus, I’ve always admired how their culture values respect, discipline, and continuous improvement — qualities I try to bring into my own work."
I would choose to be in India- which is where my family is. moreover, it would provide me to be in an atmosphere where there is a perfect blend of work-life balance.
If this interview is conducted virtually which happens most of the times now.
I would answer: To be in front of you so that I can shake hands with you and say Thank you for sharing your valuable time with me.
First thing to consider is why this question would be hypothetically asked and my top 3 reasons are:
Based on these, you should prioritize professionally appropriate interests that are of genuine interest to you. If none comes to mind at that instant, you can reposition your answer to be oriented around where a future you living in an ideal world would like to be.
And regardless of your answer, don't forget to state your why since that's a critical point they'll be trying to assess.
