Hello, to answer this question, can I talk about an experience mentioned on my resume and emphasize how it enabled me to acquire consulting skills ? Concerning the least important detail, can I say that I value everything mentioned on my resume as all the details shaped my personality and made develop all my skills? Thank you in advance
Hello!
These are two questions you can find in the FIT part of the test. If you want to deep dive on the topic, the "Integrated FIT guide for MBB" has been recently published in PrepLounge´s shop (https://www.preplounge.com/en/shop/tests-2/integrated-fit-guide-for-mbb-34)
It provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, tackling each firms particularities and combining key concepts review and a hands-on methodology. Following the book, the candidate will prepare his/her stories by practicing with over 50 real questions and leveraging special frameworks and worksheets that guide step-by-step, developed by the author and her experience as a Master in Management professor and coach. Finally, as further guidance, the guide encompasses over 20 examples from real candidates.
Furthermore, you can find 3 free cases in the PrepL case regarding FIT preparation:

Hey there,
...you might saw this coming, but it depends! It depends on you and the person you are or want to transmit. A most important detail can be something extremely personal that has shaped you (which does not necessarily need to have anything to do with consulting skills).
I have never had/heard an interviewer ask about the least important detail on a resume. Instead, many tend to ask for your "highlight" (for that, see my point above). In case they do ask you about a least important detail I like your approach: The CV is a brief summary of the most important aspects of your (mainly) professional life, so of course, everything has its value. If they insist you could pick something in the very past where you may have not been as sharp and determined as you are today.
Let me know if you want to practice CV-interviews.

Hi there,
Let me help.
Most Important Detail: This should be whatever experience you have leaveraged to create your "Greatest Accomploshment"/"Biggest Challenge"/"Proudest Moment" behavioral story.
So, whatever story you have created for that classic fit question, should also be the experience you flag on your resume. It's literally a hidden "Tell me about your biggest achievement slash proudest moment" question!
Least Important Detail: Here is where you get to exhibit humbleness. Grab something that isn't "technically" important from a job perspective, but is important to you. Say "I know that xx isn't really big impact from your perspective, but I added it because I really value x".
^I love this question because it's a chance to show your true personality/values/interests!
It depends on what stage of your career you are in.
If you apply to a consulting company straight out of university the most important part will be your GPA, the name of your university, and the name of the companies you interned with, the least important your passions.
If you are a senior candidate the most important is your personal career achievements and the name of your past employer, the least important still remains your interests but also your GPA becomes less relevant.
Hope it helps,
Franco
If something is not important to show your experience & skills, why put it in the resume anyway?
All sections of the resume must hang together nicely and carry weight although fair to say Education (inc internships, project work etc) & Professional experience takes up the most space.
Hi recommend talking about an achievement not big in terms of the brand (that the interviewer already appreciated) but important in terms of skill set acquired (e.g. a little entrepreneurial experience)
Best,
Antonello
