Case Interview
What is a case interview?
Case interviews are designed to reflect client challenges and give you the chance to explore problems and make recommendations. We use it to assess your ability as a consultant and not to test your business sense or sector knowledge.
TIPS FOR
SUCCESS
Listen actively
Make sure you take notes and focus on the core issue
Ask for clarification when needed
Don't be afraid to restate the question back to the interviewer and agree on the objective and case context
Structure your process
Ask for time to structure your case – you should present at least two layers and be ready to discuss them
Solve the case
Follow your structure and make sure you ask questions and request data when necessary. We also encourage you to think out loud to show us your thinking process
Close the case
Reconcile the outcomes of the previous step and be prepared to defend the side you choose
