Bain 1st round format

Hello everyone,

I received an invitation for 1st round interviews for the Associate Consultant Intern position at a european Bain office. At the email inviting me to the interviews they said that the interviewers wont have access to my application and cv and that they wont ask specific questions about my cv or profile. Does that mean that the interviews will be pure casing? Or should i prepare fit questions? 

Thank You

Hi,

Some Bain offices now run their case interviews CV-blind (interviewers don't see your CV) and keep the fit out of the case session entirely, which is likely why they told you there'll be no CV-specific questions.

That said I'd still be prepared to discuss a couple of things, in case they pop up at any point in the process, or even during side talks: (i) a short overview of yourself and (ii) a clear why consulting, why Bain, and why this office

I'd also double-check the exact format directly with HR, so you know precisely what to expect.

Hope it helps and best of luck with the process!
