I would suggest to think of the question as going beyond your practical skills and knowlege to what your role tends to be when working in a team. Think of patterns that you might have noticed when working previously with other peopl: are you the one that's very good at outside the box thinking, at quickly assessing viability to bring focus, at benchmarking vs. similar cases, etc.

In terms of helping you prepare for the questions beforehand, on top of thinking about past experiences, you can try looking at your MBTI profile. And if you can link it to a specific experience you have I would say even better (Example: I've been rockclimbing since I was 10, so I've really learned the importance of mapping out your route ahead of time, this is something that I've carried with me in my professional life. I'm usually very good at planning out the steps needed to complete a project and I'm sure this is something that I could contribute to the company).

Since, admittedly, entry-level hires can bring only a limited set of hard skills to the table and since those, at this level, are usually considered table-stakes, what I usually look for in the answer to this question is:

• willingness to learn and continuously improve
• passion for the job/industry
• positive attiude and stamina
• ability to work in group
• humbleness

Hope this helps,

This question is very similar to the motivational set of questions, which includes:

• Why consulting?

• Why this region?

• Why X firm?

First, go on their webpage, read how they present themselves, network to get some information from insiders.

This is not a common question, but you can asked it, so be ready for it to answer. To answer properly, I would recommend you this formula:

1. To show you understand of what kind of person interviewers are looking for (defining the problem)

2. Present yourself as a best solution

3. Give 2-3 reasons why you

Does it make sense to you?
