  • Q3. What should be the acquisition strategy for this chain?

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: In the personal interview they asked Generic questions (E.g.: why consulting), Resume based questions (E.g.: how did your PMP certification help you in your work), Situational Questions (E.g.: Give an example of a highly complex assignment that you handled.)
What went right during the interview was the fact that I was able to maintain my cool and answer confidently and logically clearly showing the problem flow and calculation details. I was able to come up with more than one logical answer for the questions that were asked which impressed them. Ability to talk in mathematical as well as business terms.
Though, I kind of blanked out on the first slide. The interviewer had to guide me. But there were a lot of other slides to follow and the PI, where I was able to make up for the initial glitch.
Tips: Maintain your calm and be confident and optimistic. For this round, don’t narrow your thoughts down by a framework as it tends to limit your thinking. In rounds where precise answers are required – case frameworks will not take you too far.

Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: We were given a case (approx 45 pages) with lots of data and text. We were given 40 minutes to go through the case, analyze it and put our thoughts and recommendations on the flip chart followed by a 15 minute presentation of the case. There was a lot of cross questioning during the presentation.
I was able to go through the whole case and get a sense of what sections were important and what were not. Was able to structure my analysis into four buckets - financial, marketing, strategic and others, before coming up with the recommendations. Did not change my stance under pressure during the presentation – kept on providing answers to support my view. Could not do as much quant as I wanted to.
Tips: · Time management is the key. Set aside 20 minutes for reading the case, 10 minutes for analyzing it and going through the important parts again and 10 minutes for thinking about a structure and putting it on the flip chart.
· Read the entire case. That way you would be able to make out which parts are important and focus on them for analysis. Reading the entire case would also enable you to tackle all the questions that are asked during the presentation.
· In this round, use of case frameworks helps to ensure that you have covered all aspects of the problem at hand. · Structure you presentation. Most important!! · Answer all the questions confidently – interviewers will try to change your thoughts intentionally – don’t give up and keep on providing logical answers to support your view.

Round: personal interview
Experience: · General Questions
· Resume Based Questions (lots of these)
· Situational Questions (lots of these)
· Industry Questions
· Some attitude questions (like your ideas on work life balance)

I had gone through my resume thoroughly a day before and thought of key things to say under each of the heads. Was a great help in answering the situational questions.
Was able to demonstrate my suitability and passion for the role by giving thoughtful but spontaneous answers.


Tips: · A day before the interview, go through your resume. Think of at least three things to say about each of the points mentioned in your resume.
· Be confident, spontaneous and genuine.
· Show passion in the opinions/views that you express.
