- Summary:
- So begins the dreaded case interview. Few images strike more fear into the hearts and minds of MBA students than this one. As if interviewing alone were not stressful enough, the thought of politely fumbling through an unknown problem by oneself with almost no data sounds worse. Nonetheless, the case interview is here to stay, and will most likely remain a crucial part of the management consulting interview process.
- In case all of this leaves you thinking, "What is a case interview? And how can I prepare for one?" Relax. This case guide addresses these questions. It describes what consulting firms are looking for in case interviews and the types of cases you can expect. It then describes how to approach each of these types of cases and summarizes some of the frameworks that may be helpful in structuring your approach. The guide concludes with a number of cases that recruiters have used in past years.
