What should I expect - Mckinsey Technical Experience Assessment (TEI)

Hi,

I have been invited to interview for the role of Delivery Manager in the Implementation Practice, and one of the interviews is a Technical Experience Assessment (TEI) which does not exist in a typical Consulting track. My questions are:

1. How many of my meaningful projects should I be talking about during this interview?

2. Is there any specific structure or methodology that the interviewer expects in my narrative?

3. What kind of counter or follow-up questions should I be expecting?

Thanks :)

Hello! First of all congratulations on the interview, I wish you good luck!

The interviewer will expect you to talk about 1-3 projects, depending on the level of detail you can get to. If the main project or projects you mention are relevant, the interviewer will not ask you for more (unless you want to reference them at some point). 

There is no specific structure, many candidates like to use the "STAR" format, it's up to your style, but what I recommend is that you prepare your speech out loud in front of someone (can be a friend, relative or coach). That will guarantee that you make a wise use of the time you're given to show your best version. 

Regarding the follow up questions, they will target the areas you didn't mention in your speech first (typically these are about technical credibility, ownership, and decision-making, e.g., how did you manage challenge during the implementation? why did you choose the approach you ended up taking? how did you track progress and success? who were your key stakeholders, and how did you influence them?). 

Hope this helps!!
