ADVICE

Clear Communication

  • When presenting your case, speak clearly and explain your thinking thoroughly, as the interviewer cannot see your notes.
  • Adapt your communication style to compensate for the interviewer's limited visibility.
ADVICE

Clarifying Questions and Structure

  • Always ask clarifying questions to understand the case before structuring your approach.
  • Ask the interviewer if they prefer to see your initial structure or hear your clarifying questions first.
ADVICE

Explain Your Reasoning

  • Explain how you developed your structure and key question (for BCG cases).
  • Don't just present it; explain the reasoning behind your choices to demonstrate understanding.
