I have been approached through LinkedIn by a BCG recruiter after asking a question on facebook about an event. I will have a call very soon with one of them. How can I interpret this? Also, how can I prepare for this?

Hi A,
That is actually great news!
I would recommend doing the following:

Hi,
That's great, and as said by Guenael that's unusual, but I think the only interpretation is that they are interested in your profile.
So to prepare, get your story ready (introduce yourself, why consulting, why BCG), your questions ready (about the event more specifically and the process recruitment afterward), and stay posed and structured in your discussion over the phone.
Hope this will help
Best

Hi,
It depends on the structure of an event:
You'll also get a chance to:
PS. After each event, there is a Q&A session where you can talk to consultants 1 on 1 or in a group. If you want to keep in touch - send a thank you note after the event:
Alternatively, you may use LinkedIn for that.
Best!
Congratulations. This isn't very common, but can't be anything but good news. Remember, business is strong and there are only so many qualified recruits so consultancies need to find applicants where they are a little bit more than they used to
First, I'd make sure I knew what my objvectives are. Are you wanting to join? full time or internship? what timeline?
Second, do some groundwork research on consulting / MBB / BCG specifically
Third, be prepared mentally for a potential next step but don't rush into it. If the recruiter suggests a phone interview for example, make sure you are ready before accepting.
Fourth, still treat this like you would any interview: be in a comfortable location, no background noise, no significant commitment right after the call that would stress you a little bit...
PS: Which office / country?
Good luck.
