How to overcome the interview stress?

Making cases in the school/prep environment is different than making the case in the real interview environment. When the interviewer gives the case in the real interview moment i feel stressed & tend to even forget my structure & feel hard to collect my thoughts together..How can i overcome this, any ideas will be appreciated? Thank you!

Hi,

Practice cases not with your friends but rather experiences people:

  • Training on 2nd, 3rd tier companies
  • Consultants
  • Coaches
  • Ex-consultants

Hi A,

If you don't feel confident and really need some professional advice, I would recommend you to practice with someone who has relevant exprerience and already works in your targeted company or if don't have a friend of the kind, you can always reach out for coachs' help here on PrepLounge.

Best, Andre
