So, you finally mustered up enough courage to pass that consulting resume that you have meticulously prepared. Now, you have been given a slot in one of the coveted case interview schedules of your prospective firm.
As the day of your consulting case interview draws near, here are some things you should do to prove to your interviewer that consulting is right for you:
- Pause to think. While your interview answers as an applicant greatly define your chances of getting hired, your silence is equally important. In your case interview, you will be given a case scenario that needs critical thinking and thorough analysis. Therefore, it is important to gather your thoughts before you proceed with your answer. Doing so will help you mentally map out a strategic and methodical manner of resolving the case at hand. And as your string of ideas form into coherent and organized thought, you will be able to effectively relay your answer to your interviewer as well.
- Make your questions count. During your consulting case interview, make sure you also throw in your own set of questions. As interviews are all about highlighting your effective communication skills, part of it relies on your ability to follow through with substantiating queries. Refrain however from asking a question for the sake of merely asking it. Keep in mind that your questions should be relevant and insightful as you go along with your interview process.
- Leverage information. There are two ways to practice this during your case interview. You can start off by weeding out irrelevant and insignificant information. As the case problem is dictated, you will be given a chance to discern which data is useful and which ones are not. Use this opportunity to display your keen eye for detail as you filter each information you receive. Second, add information from your prior research. During a case interview, you can cite relevant information from real-world trends and instances. By doing so, you can further explain and support your answers in the light of current events.
