They really want to see a couple things happening.
1. What YOU specifically did. In order to communicate this - use the word 'i' a lot.
2. Answer your questions in the first and second round all using CAR. CAR is an answer format which stands for context, action, result. Google if unclear.
3. Be yourself and demonstrate personality. The winning interviews often are/feel more conversational than standard Q&A.
4. Be able to gauge interviewers reactions. You'll know when you've lost them or have them in interest.

I interviewed at Procter & Gamble (London, England)
Interview
2x tests, 2 interviews, interviews were in person and tests were online. I spoke with several different people. They also run career academy's which is more group work. All in all a very thorough process.
The process was straightforward and easy. It typically begins with an online application and a short assessment that evaluates cognitive and situational judgment skills. This is followed by one or two interviews, which are more conversational and centered around your motivation for the role, communication skills, and examples of leadership or initiative—often using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method.
Interviews for the academy week application: there were two rounds of 1hr interviews on behavioural and situational questions. Interviewers have 5 behavioural and 2 situational questions to ask the interviewee. They will also ask follow up questions on what you have said.
