Tips for making the most of the Q&A section in consulting interviews
Leverage the Q&A section
Do you run out of questions at the end of the interview? Prepare to truly engage. The Q&A section is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the firms.
How to Effectively Handle the Q&A Section
Prepare a comprehensive list of questions about the firm, the office culture, the daily work, etc.
Address questions throughout the process and add more questions if new doubts arise.
Aim to save at least four questions for the interviews. Ideally, one per interview.
Ask questions and listen carefully to the answers.
Key points for the Q&A
If you have already asked all your questions, mention who you have spoken with and conclude the interview appropriately.
Focus on the conversation, and don't get lost thinking about the case. This is a very common mistake, and as an interviewer, it's perceived as a waste of time.
We discourage using this time to ask for feedback about the interview, as it offers no benefit. Please don't do this; it will only distract you.
Use the Q&A section to demonstrate your genuine interest and better understand the firm, thereby improving your chances of success.
