Hello, I'm applying for entry level role into McKinsey & Co. I need tips on how to be outstanding, especially during the interviews. What are the do's and don'ts?

Hi,

My list of DO's is the following

• Structure everything you speak about
• Maintain eye contact
• Give rationale for every part of the structure e.g. I want to deep dive into competitors because of 2 reasons
• Use top-down communication during the fit-part of the interview
• Wrire neat notes that are easy-to-read and follow
• Speak always, do not be silent if you do not know what to tell
• Synthetize, what next steps are, what so-what's
• Smile
• Be confident
• Make sure interviewer follows you by involving into discussion 

For DON'Ts I will mention red flags:

• Be silent 
• Argue with the interviewer

I hope that was helpful. 

Kind regards,

Egor Iakovlev
