In this episode, Bruno and Julio bring Nicolas Constantinesco, former McKinsey AP, back to the podcast.
Nicolas currently helps top European universities adapt their curricula with high-impact, practical problem-solving skills. These skills are the ones best leveraged to help in the students' career progression and impact, as well as their performance in consulting interviews.
Here are some of the topics they talked about this time...
- How do you, as a candidate, identify good case interview content among all the bad stuff out there?
- How can you break the vicious cycle of "beginners doing mocks with beginners and never improving because their case partners are inexperienced"?
- What lessons should you be learning from top performer athletes and baking into your preparation?
-------------------------------
If you're looking to improve your case solving skills, make sure you check out our free course at www.craftingcases.com/course.
Inside this free course, you will learn...
- How to identify and answer each of the six (and only six) types of questions that you will have in your case interviews (these happen in ALL types of cases!)
- How to structure ANY case with a customized structure and how to stay structured throughout the case (even if you've never seen a case like that before)
- Tons of practice drills to optimize your learning (this helps you put theory into practice and focus on your weaknesses, even if you don't have the time to do mock interviews every day)
