1. CV and Cover letter: keep it concise, as ACs screen them (not HR) and they don't have time 2. Tests: prepare well and you will be fine. The tests are not as difficult as the PST or Oliver Wyman's 3. 1st interviews: market sizing and case study with an AC and a senior AC, both very friendly and helpful. The questions are not difficult at this stage. - Don't mess up the mental maths in both cases. If you do, don't freak out either, it's not the end of the world - Structure and think out loud - Look out for hints from the interviewers (they are genuinely there to help) - You get feedback later if you go through, which is extremely kind of them 4. Final interviews: a written case, a verbal case, a partner interview & case - Practice reviewing massive sets of presentation slides under high time pressure (e.g. know what's irrelevant). - Answer a few questions and put them into the empty slides given to you. Prepare to crunch some numbers in this limited time (show your workings, always) - Never mess up the maths, in all cases - Be proactive in asking questions if interviewer is quiet - Prepare to answer some basic motivation questions with the partner. Research what industry his/her expertise is, and the case is likely to be about that
