Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Interview
Experience: Answer 1) I took a really long time to do this one, and I had only got as far as the consumption of vodka by women when the interviewer asked me to stop. She was not exactly encouraging/helpful and I guess that slowed down my responses. When I asked her if I could wrap up the guesstimate, she told me it would not be necessary
Answer 2) There was no real case here. The interviewer was a cheerful man who just wanted me to discuss how to go about starting an airline. He asked me to estimate no. of passengers. I divided the population into urbanrural, business travellers-tourists, etc (in steps of course, but nothing extraordinary). He seemed to be pretty impressed and was generally chatting with me for almost 15 mins about his experiences in McKinsey.
Round: Interview
Experience: I was asked to walk through my resume. Apart from the regular questions about my projects and internships, I was asked the one question which I was expecting since morning: “Why not research?” I was also asked about my Yantriki victory and my tenure as Speakers’ club convener. A large part of the interview was also devoted to “McKinsey vs. its competition”
General Tips: Sleep well, wear comfortable footwear (Girls, please stash away those high heels for post-job treats and NOT interviews, they almost killed me), don’t starve yourself. If you have back-to-back interviews, sit down for a minute between interviews and take deep breaths, it really helps. Now let’s cut the chase and get to preparation
PPT : Attend PPTs of all the companies that you are interested in. It will give you a good idea of the kind of people you’ll work with, apart from the work itself. Stick around after the PPT and talk to your seniors who are working with the company. Wait for the pizza, there’s always enough for everyone.
Resume : Don’t try and squeeze in too much into your resume. Going by the experiences of my batch, I think companies looked for well-rounded individuals and not necessarily DR1’s or managers and CGs. Needless to say, do not lie or exaggerate. It is disgusting, and in most cases, it will be obvious too.Â
Interviews: Please don’t prepare answers to the last word, but think about some common questions: strengths/weaknesses (a little introspection never does any harm) and of course, “Why consulting?” (or analytics, etc). Go through your resume and think about what you have learnt from each experience.
