Hi there,

Reach out - I have written a free guide on Online Interviews in Consulting.

Generally, the typical guidelines apply:

  1. Structure and streamlined communication become more important than in a live-interview setting
  2. Minimize distractions in your environment
  3. Have a stable internet connection and a backup available (tech issues can completely derail your performance as they add on top of the interview stress)
  4. Make sure you have enough pens and paper ready for your notes. Organize this beforehand
  5. Pay attention to your body language and try to create rapport with the interviewer
  6. Listen carefully to the information they share with you and play back all the details to avoid misunderstandings
  7. For the rest, it's pretty similar to the normal case prep and in-person interviews

All the best,

Florian

Hello there,

Congrats on the interview invitation!

Expectations in a case interview over zoom are pretty consistent with those for an in-person case interview i.e., structured problem-solving, math & data analysis skills, communication skills, creativity, and business sense. Same logic applies to the fit interview - just prepare as you would for an in-person interview. 

The major difference I would say is that you need to be able to clearly explain your thought process at every step during the case since your interviewer cannot see the framework/issue tree/calculations/etc on your paper. Also, you need to be adept at projecting executive presence over a video call.

Feel free to reach out for any specific tips.

Hi,

Couple of tips: 

  • Test your equipment before!: Ensure your computer, camera, microphone, and internet connection are all working before the interview, you wouldn't want to show up late or cause friction to the interviewer
  • Conducive Environment: Try and find a quiet, well-lit space with a neutral background. Make sure there are no distractions or noisy interruptions
  • Dress Professionally: Even though you’re remote, dress as you would for an in-person interview.
  • Be Punctual: Log in a few minutes early, don't make the interviewer annoyed

All the best!

Interview is very similar to a in-person interview. 

My advice is to treat it as much as possible as an in-person interview, but on top of that make sure you are interviewing from a good looking room, good lighting, camera pointing to the right place (you shouldn't be looking down or at least not more that what happens if you have a good seat/table). 

Make sure you speak loud enough and have good working earplugs (or that you can hear well from your speakers). 

Close down all other applications and restart your laptop / do updates before the interview to minimize surprises.
