Cases for Case Partner interviews

Hi People,

I want to start case partnering and was wandering how should I prepare to be a interviewer to offer somebody a case?

Do I take any case from case library or the case partner will ask which case he/she wants to practice?

Hi Anonymous A,

welcome to PrepLounge and thank you for asking your question on our Consulting Q&A!

When you schedule a meeting with somebody, you will have a back-to-back meeting which means you will both be given (interviewee), and give a case (interviewer).

As an interviewee you should do some foundational study e.g. go through our case interview BootCamp. Ideally as an interviewer, you pick a case from our Case Library that you have already solved and are familiar with.

If you accept a meeting from the meeting board, the case will be randomly selected. Once the meeting is scheduled, both you and your partner will have the possibility to change the selected cases in the meeting room. You can communicate with your case partner and discuss which case you would like to solve. 

I hope this answers your questions.

If you have any other doubts, don't hesitate to ask!

Good luck for your case prep!

Astrid

Approaching a Case
Case interviews can be overwhelming, but they are one of the most important parts in the hiring process. These interviews allow companies to assess your problem-solving skills, your ability to structure complex problems, and how well you communicate your solutions.A case interview isn't just about finding the "right" answer – it's about how you think. The best way to approach any case is to stay organized, break the problem into manageable parts, and explain your thinking clearly. In this guide, we'll walk you through the key steps to excel in a case interview, avoiding common mistakes, and standing out against the competition. Why Case Studies Matter in InterviewsCase studies are used in interviews because they simulate real business challenges, testing your ability to solve difficult problems under pressure. More than your technical skills, interviewers are looking for:Problem-solving abilities: Can you break down a complicated issue into smaller, more manageable parts?Prioritization and management: Can you identify the most important elements of a case and address them first?Communication: Are you able to clearly and logically explain your thinking process?Your performance in a case interview shows how you think on your feet and whether you'd be able to handle the challenges that arise in the job. A structured approach to the problem is key, and this is where your preparation can really pay off.
