I have my BCG interview this Tuesday, first round. This is actually my first consulting interview ever so I'm very nervous (extremely). I'm going in with an open-mind. This would be done over video-conferencing.
I was hoping for some tips/tricks to prepare (behavioural/case).
I've been actively working on cases, etc. Thank you!
Honestly, nothing replaces cases with current and former consultants, especially with so little time left. I wish you didn't start with BCG, that's a pretty high stakes "first interview".
Be structured and methodical (MECE), state your hypothesis and try to have fun with the process. Good luck!

Just try to relax the night before. If you have prepared for the case interview, you should focus on bringing your A-game to the interview. Additionally, for the fit part of the interview. Think that you want this guy to like you as a person and as a colleague. Be professional, but friendly.
Good Luck!
Thank you Guennael!
Hahhaah, I wish I didn't have to start with BCG either and had practice with other firms but oh well, I'm just going in with an open-mind and if it doesn't go my way, really take the feedback and continue improving :)
Think of it as a client discussion, rather than a job interview. This changes your tone and use of words!
Ah, I am also having my BCG interview this week - first round with as close to no case practice..
