Hi Frank,
quoting a previous answer, theoretically you can use the BCG matrix in every interview (it’s public domain), however:

Hi Anonymous,
you can use standard frameworks such as the BCG matrix in interviews, however:

Hi,
Agree with Francesco. I can hardly imagine a situation when you really have to draw down a BCG matrix. Moreover, it may sound like a textbook approach.
Though feel free to use the concepts like "cash cow" in your analysis.

Hi,
Yes you can, like Francesco has mentioned - it is better not to mention BCG if it is a different company. They are looking for structure and thought process so remember if you do use the matrix - you need to add analysis and your own recommendation or next steps for the company to stand out.
Think about it this way - every candidate has this structure, how will you make your answer interesting and memorable?
My advice is use the framework as base, but add your thoughts and industry insights to stand out.
Of course, you can Just call it "Matrix"
I am not sure if you can really impress your interviewer when using a BCG Matrix. So, I would recommend you to use it, you can use the theory of the BCG matrix but there is no need to make a reference to it. Good luck!
