Unique Personal Narrative: Develop a concise, well-structured response to “Tell me about yourself” that highlights your background, strengths, and motivation for the specific role and firm.
Framework Application: Learn to apply key frameworks used in consulting (e.g., profitability, market entry) and finance (e.g., valuation, modeling) to real-world cases and technical questions.
Handling Pressure: Demonstrate poise and confidence when navigating difficult or unexpected questions.
Resume Mastery: Be ready to speak fluently about every point on your resume, especially quantifiable results and insights from internships, leadership roles, or academic projects
“Why Us?” Answers: Customize your responses to firm-specific questions by referencing their deals, culture, or values. Show that you’ve done your homework.
Mock Interviews: Engage in realistic practice sessions with feedback to sharpen your communication, analytical thinking, and overall presentation.
