Silly question

Hi,

It will help if you provide the name of the company.

In general, it is a 20-30 min call with:

• Story about yourself
• Why consulting, Why company X
• Additional fit questions (PEI stories, failure, strengths&weaknesses, etc). Usually with no additional questions so it's much easier than on a real interview
• Your questions to HR

Good luck,

Vlad

Hi A,

1. Yes, the call will be evaluative. It might include the FIT part and storytelling.
2. It's important to be always well prepared. So I would recommend postponing the call if you feel unconfident and not prepared.

I agree with the other experts. You should expect any point of contact to be evaluative. Not all might make it into the final evaluations, but the chance is there, so you should treat them as being part of the recruitment decision making.

Hi Anonymous,

This call can be considered as a fit part of a round interview. Prepare a couple of stories to tell according to potential experiences and questions they might ask you.

Among those are:

• standard fit questions "Why consulting?", "Why this company?"
• the behavioral part which means, you will have to tell about your roles in specific situations;
• your questions about the company. I recommend prepare them in advance, so they are not going to be unconsidered and obvious.

Delaying the call is not going to be an issue if you really need some extra time for preparation. Feel free to discuss your options.

Do you need any further help?
