Preparing for Case Interviews

There are many ways to go about preparing for case interviews, the foundational interviewing practice for most major consulting firms. Some basic information about the structure of a case interview can be found here or here. 

Case Practice Sessions

Case interviews are a major part of the recruiting process for any consulting firm. There are many different sources one can use to learn more about case interviewing, but, it is only by practicing in person that one’s skills will improve. In this spirit, our club regularly holds practice sessions for people to meet up and “get their hands dirty”.  If you are interested, please check out our Case Practice Sessions tab.  If you have any questions, please contact us.

Experience Interviews

Aside from case interviews, consulting firms also use experience interviews to assess their candidates. Similar to traditional job interviews, experience interviews offer the interviewer an opportunity to understand the candidate’s background, interest and career goals. Some interviewers may ask the candidate to describe a specific situation in the professional or academic experiences.

Succeeding in experience interviews is equally important in securing a job offer. We encourage our members to check out the interview resources page from our partner UChicagoGRAD. If you need additional practice, please schedule an appointment with a GRADTalk advisor.
