Hi there,

There would be cases as well. Good news is that the fundamental of solving a case remains the same, so if you are preparing for other consulting interviews, those efforts would be worthwhile.

The nuance is that DHL consulting focuses on supply chain and logistics. So it would be good to read up on the basics of this area. Get yourself a bit more familiar with at least some of the basic terms and operations, so you don't get caught off-guard during interview.

Last, read up some case studies, white-papers that they publish on their website, to get a feel of the work they do.

Hope it helps,

Emily

Hello!

You can find info. on the interviews on Glassdoor: https://www.glassdoor.co.uk/Interview/DHL-Consulting-Interview-Questions-E350622.htm

Furthermore. based on a coachee: the interviews are divided into two parts.

1st is about your CV and the stories you need to prepare regarding your behavior within a team.
2nd part is a case interview focusing on the operational part of logistics and supply chain.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi, I would prepare for this like you do for any other assessment. Practices cases, fit, and logic tests.

Interview with Gina Dahmann, Senior Consultant at DHL Consulting

What skills do you need to be a Senior Consultant?You need good analytical skills so you can get to grips with a problem quickly and hone in on the solution. And you need the ability to explain ideas to the client in an easy and understandable way, so good communication is essential, too. How does DHL Consulting empower its women?By giving us the feeling that we are all valued — not because we’re women, but because we’re doing a good job. I also like its transparency around equal salary, and I’ve never had the feeling that male colleagues are more highly regarded or have better career opportunities than female colleagues. Plus I think it’s great that our CEO, Sabine Mueller, is an excellent role model and an example of female empowerment. The fact that we have a female leader makes me proud to be part of the DHLC team. What's the best thing about working at DHLC?I really like being surrounded by inspirational people. There’s a really cool crowd here and I’ve been learning a lot from them. DHLC also makes a big effort to be truly international with team members from across the world. That’s what makes us really unique as an organization. Do clients expect to see diversity in the DHLC teams?I think clients expect us to always be open-minded and to constantly generate great new problem-solving ideas. The best way to do that is by having a diverse crowd who all have different opinions. There’s no point in everyone thinking the same because it’s not the way to come up with innovative solutions. Also, as a team member, it’s really useful to have people with a range of different skills, views and experiences within the company, because then there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice on any subject.
