Master the FIT Part of the Interview in All Consulting Interviews

FIT, a Key Dimension From Any Consulting Interview

MBB, boutiques, and overall consulting interviews usually consist of 3 parts: FIT, business case, and Q&A, organized in 2 rounds. 
Although many candidates underestimate FIT and focus their preparation on business cases, FIT is as important to be prepared, and a usual cause for rejection. 
FIT in MBB interviews is an in-depth assessment of your skillset, not a standard motivational interview. In fact, it´s not conducted by HR, but for the consultants themselves, usually before the business case. 
In fact, FIT is not a complement to the business case, but a highly relevant part of the interview by itself. The reason why it´s deeply rooted in the value proposition a consultant brings to the table for his/her clients. The consultant skillset is not limited to analytical and problem-solving skills, but also encompasses team and client management abilities. This last two cannot be tested through business case, hence the importance of FIT. 

The Integrated FIT Guide 

The Integrated FIT Guide for MBB provides an end-to-end preparation for all three MBB interviews, as well as other consulting interviews, 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.

I had done a lot of online research for McKinsey PEI, and found a huge number of free resources. But of course, they are all disorganized, repetitive, contradictory, not verified and many times outdated! However, this guide is nothing like that: it provides a real APPROACH to prepare your PEI, starting with the understanding of what you are going to face -which can be found online, but does not really tell you anything about how to prep- to a real STEP-BY-STEP preparation. That cannot be found free online. On top, it has unique resources created for the guide (i.e., story cards, matrix, etc.), that are printable and that guide you step-by-step and make you develop the stories in the way they will be asked, including the key data. In sum: worth every penny, saved me lots of time and ensured me that I was doing it right. Now I feel more confident as I am preparing for my 1st round interview.

The FIT Guide created by Clara was a wonderful and must-have resource for anyone who wants to prepare for MBB FIT interviews. I was using the FIT Guide to prepare for McKinsey's PEIs. The guide well-summarized the potential questions that will be asked during a FIT interview and what qualities/skills you want to show in an answer. The guide taught me systematically on how to create my own story and how to tell a story in a concise but powerful way. The guide also offered a few good samples that helped me think about how I can construct my own story. Overall, the FIT guide was amazing and definitely built my confidence in succeeding a FIT interview!
