Do you have any interview tips?
Telephone Interview: For me these included a series of questions where I had to show that I had previously developed some skills which were required in the job description. It is important to read carefully the job description as it will probably help you anticipate some of these questions.
1-2-1 Interview: my experience was great. It was the best interview I ever had. I felt as if the interviewer was actually interested in me as a person, outside my academic achievements. I ended up talking about my hobbies too, which I believe can show a lot about your personality and whether you fit with the company culture.
Group Exercise: The best way to prepare for this is to go through some mock group exercises if you have this option at uni. If not perhaps ask some friends to help you go through some group exercises you may find online. It is worth having such an experience under a tight deadline, so that you know what to expect. It is important to be collaborative, to show your ideas and to respect others ideas even though they are different than yours, perhaps you can build on them and even create a new idea.
Case study exercise: From the beginning, it is important to clearly state your view and the main arguments you have for explaining your view. Then re-introduce each argument and further explain it. Finally, summarise your view and the three arguments you just presented. Also, be prepared for being challenged, it is a typical experience you can encounter on client site.
