When management-consulting firms are in the process of hiring, they want to pick the candidates that possess the analytical and problem-solving skills necessary for the job. In order to assess these abilities, the firm will often pose a case interview question to an applicant. Usually this problem is based on a real-world issue encountered by the interviewer. There are several ways that job candidates can prepare for these interviews and improve their chances of success.
Before beginning the application process, people should conduct extensive research on the company they want to work for. By doing this, they may be able to discover the interviewing practices of the company. In addition to doing research, a career advisor can be a helpful resource for people to use. Many advisors are current or former consultants, and they are familiar with how interviews are conducted. They can engage in mock interviews with their clients, and this will provide applicants with a sufficient understanding of what to expect when they are interviewing with a potential employer. Besides conducting private research and consulting with career advisors, there are also many books dedicated to helping people prepare for the case interview. As there are so many resources available to assist them in refining their analytical and communication skills, applicants should not be anxious to engage in this crucial and effective interview process.
