besser Case üben oder unvoreingenommen in den Prozess gehen

Mich würde interessieren, ob man eurer Meinung nach besser viele Case-Studies üben sollte oder unvoreingenommen in den Bewerbungsprozess gehen soll?

Hallo :) 

Da Consulting-Interviews klaren Mustern folgen, bei denen analytisches Denken, Strukturierung und schnelles Kopfrechnen entscheidend sind, halte ich eine gründliche Vorbereitung für absolut empfehlenswert. Durch das Üben verschiedener Case-Typen (z. B. Markteintrittsstrategien, Profitabilitätsanalysen, Wachstumsstrategien) entwickelt man ein sicheres Gespür für die Herangehensweise und kann flexibel auf neue Herausforderungen reagieren. 

Wichtig ist dabei, nicht mechanisch auswendig zu lernen, sondern echtes Verständnis aufzubauen. Gleichzeitig sollte man es mit der Vorbereitung nicht übertreiben. Ein guter Richtwert sind etwa 20–30 Cases mit konstruktivem Feedback – so geht man selbstbewusst und souverän in den Bewerbungsprozess.

Hallo! Ich stimme hier Samara zu, eine Vorbereitung auf die üblichen Strukturen und Abläufe von Case Interviews ist sehr hilfreich, auch damit du im Interview selbstbewusst und sicher auftreten kannst und dir ein paar Hilfen zurecht gelegt hast an denen du dich im Gespräch orientieren kannst. Prep-Lounge selber bietet hier gutes Übungsmaterial an, und es kann auch hilfreich sein, wenn man einen Case-Partner hat mit dem man die Interview Situation erproben kann und ggfs. auch selbst in die Rolle des Interviewers schlüpfen kann.

Hallo :)

Aus meiner Inverto-Perspektive kann ich dir nur empfehlen, dich mit Case-Übungen gezielt auf dein Bewerbungsgespräch vorzubereiten. Besonders wenn die Beratung einen spezifischen Fokus hat – wie bei uns Einkauf und Supply Chain Management – hilft es, sich vorab mit möglichen Inhalten vertraut zu machen. So kannst du strukturierter und entspannter durch den Bewerbungsprozess gehen.

Ein weiterer Vorteil: Du bekommst ein gutes Gefühl dafür, ob dir das Lösen von Cases Spaß macht – denn das ist ein zentraler Bestandteil des Berateralltags.

Viel Erfolg bei deiner Vorbereitung!

Interview with Gina Dahmann, Senior Consultant at DHL Consulting
 What skills do you need to be a Senior Consultant?You need good analytical skills so you can get to grips with a problem quickly and hone in on the solution. And you need the ability to explain ideas to the client in an easy and understandable way, so good communication is essential, too. How does DHL Consulting empower its women?By giving us the feeling that we are all valued — not because we’re women, but because we’re doing a good job. I also like its transparency around equal salary, and I’ve never had the feeling that male colleagues are more highly regarded or have better career opportunities than female colleagues. Plus I think it’s great that our CEO, Sabine Mueller, is an excellent role model and an example of female empowerment. The fact that we have a female leader makes me proud to be part of the DHLC team. What's the best thing about working at DHLC?I really like being surrounded by inspirational people. There’s a really cool crowd here and I’ve been learning a lot from them. DHLC also makes a big effort to be truly international with team members from across the world. That’s what makes us really unique as an organization. Do clients expect to see diversity in the DHLC teams?I think clients expect us to always be open-minded and to constantly generate great new problem-solving ideas. The best way to do that is by having a diverse crowd who all have different opinions. There’s no point in everyone thinking the same because it’s not the way to come up with innovative solutions. Also, as a team member, it’s really useful to have people with a range of different skills, views and experiences within the company, because then there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice on any subject. Sounds interesting?
