ADVICE

Avoid Thinking Out Loud

  • Don't just think out loud when answering case study questions, as it can undermine your polished solution.
  • Instead, consolidate your brainstorming and present a refined highlight reel of your thought process.
ADVICE

Rephrase and Confirm

  • Rephrase the question back to the interviewer to confirm understanding and buy time to brainstorm.
  • This ensures you're both on the same page and gives you a moment to formulate your response.
ADVICE

Ask Limiting Questions

  • Ask limiting questions to force the interviewer to set parameters on the broad question.
  • This narrows the scope, making it easier to provide a specific, winning answer.
