Contact me today to schedule an interview-cracking session or to get your customized preparation acceleration program. I already helped several candidates to get multiple offers at Bain, BCG, McKinsey and others Top firms by standing out of the crowd.
---- WHAT YOU WILL GET FROM OUR SESSIONS----
My objective is to make you succeed. The reason why the majority of students I have coached landed multiple offers is because they learned how to avoid common mistakes and – most importantly – how to outperform other candidates.
Working together will add value to your preparation, whatever is your starting level, because:
(1) Your performance will be assessed according to company-specific and most recent evaluation criteria.
Many candidates fail because they approach each company / interview round in the same way. Being proficient in case-cracking is very important but alone would not get you an offer . During our sessions I will make sure that you understand how the company you are interviewing with will evaluate you and what to focus on accordingly. MBB have changed the way they select candidates over the last years. I will rely on my direct experience in recruiting candidates for the MBB and Big4 as well as my up-to-date network of consultants in most consulting companies. Understanding how companies rate your performance is key to succeed.
(2) Understand how to outperform other candidates. Over these years I have done 2000+ actual interviews (for MBB, Big 4 and as certified expert on specific platforms like Preplounge and others) meaning that I will rate your performance comparing and contrasting it with the top-performing candidates. Not only I will provide you with punctual feedback on your performance but i will also benchmark it against the one of top performing candidates. You will learn not only which are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them, but how to stand out from the crowd.
(3) Each session will be tailored to your background, preparation level and needs.
This is the reason why I do NOT do "standard” sessions. Before each session we will align on your precise needs and I will remain at your disposal even after the session.
(3) Working together will fast-track your preparation. It’s no secret - it takes a lot of practise to become very good. You might be already on the right track, but you might not have the luxury of time. We will see how to be efficient in your preparation by using the right resources, avoid the most common pitfalls and be focused on correcting the weak areas. I will provide with the right material to work on between our session.
--- GET YOUR CUSTOMIZED PREPARATION PROGRAM---
Differently from other Coaches, I only offer CUSTOMIZED preparation programs - i.e. based on your current level of preparation and needs.
If you are just starting with consulting interivew preparation I am here to guide you step by step. If you have already experience with case interview (30+ cases), we can work on more advanced preparation. If you have interviews coming up, we can run specific firms / round simulations. Contact me today to get your customized coaching program & material specific to the Firms you are applying / interviewing with.
