Rewrite PEI Stories

Hi there, 

generally speaking about personal interview, bare in mind:

•Questions will be selected based on your CV and cover letter (in addition to your job position), ensure alignment when preparing all 3

•Choose the right stories, ensure they transmit unequivocally the key strengths MBB looks for (and they are better than the 99% of other candidates) -> challenge you on this

•Prepare approx. 2 stories per topic (e.g. leadership, impact)

•Be specific and provide evidence: quantify, use KPIs/numbers - they stick in mind!! (Bear in mind that, just because you held some role does not mean you were actually good at it)

•talk about a specific experience that reflects how you demonstrate a particular consulting-relevant trait that doesn’t leave any doubt and room for misinterpretation

to prepare a story:

1. Make sure to share context of the story - the obvious to you, e.g. Ikea is the largest furniture producer and seller worldwide with xxx % of market share: 99% forget it which makes impossible to follow

2. Explain your role

3. Your solution (should be clear it was your call, and you equivacably demostrate key skills)

4. Result and impact

5. Learning and future use

Last but not least test your stories. Tell them someone with very different background and tell them to tell you what they understood. This is the best method. 

You can also get a coach to prepare you for this part (FIT interviews is equally important as the business case).

Good luck!
