Landing your dream job in finance or consulting requires more than just technical knowledge. It demands a strategic approach to interviews. Here are key skills to master:
- Structured Thinking: Employ frameworks to organize your thoughts and communicate efficiently, using a “headlines first” approach.
- Mental Math Proficiency: Practice rapid calculations relevant to finance (percentages) and consulting (market sizing).
- Compelling Personal Narrative: Craft a concise and impactful “Tell Me About Yourself” story highlighting your background, strengths, and genuine interest in the specific role and firm.
- Framework Application: Develop and practice using essential frameworks in consulting (profitability, market entry) and finance (valuation, modeling).
- Composure Under Pressure: Remain calm and collected when faced with challenging questions or interruptions.
- Resume Mastery: Know your resume inside and out, especially quantifiable achievements and business insights, so that you can fully showcase your experience and capabilities when asked related questions.
- “Why Us?” Answer: You may be asked questions like these during a reverse questioning session. Personalize your response, referencing specific deals, projects, or values of the firm to demonstrate your understanding of the business.
- Mock Interviews: Practice extensively with feedback to refine your skills and build confidence.
