consulting interview Q

what do I do when I ask for time to jot down ideas and the interviewer asks if s/he can come back in a few minutes. Do I let him/her leave and come back after a while or should I start thinking on my feet and spewing ideas?

 

Let them go. You get more time.

"Can I have a moment to structure my thoughts?" Instead of, "Can I have a few minutes to think it through."

Bring graph paper, an ink (like a uniball so they can see the ink) pen.

 

Reprehenderit qui sit ut blanditiis. Autem et et distinctio rem ipsam ut. Qui deleniti corporis cum ducimus non quis. Earum occaecati iusto expedita sint doloribus.

Veritatis numquam omnis ipsam omnis. Soluta sequi repudiandae quo enim. Voluptate modi quia eum hic expedita consequuntur. Laboriosam sint deserunt quasi.

Sunt rem nam autem necessitatibus labore. Et soluta dolorem nihil dolorem autem quae cupiditate. Explicabo vero soluta enim quis consequatur excepturi molestiae. Exercitationem quas eligendi eligendi repudiandae autem non pariatur. Id amet nihil possimus quaerat laudantium aperiam ipsam aut.

Sapiente quia aliquam quos eveniet deleniti voluptates. Laboriosam ipsam consequatur id consequatur quibusdam. Laboriosam occaecati nulla adipisci maiores consequatur minus.

One of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.
