handwriting and case interviews
This might be a stupid question, but how important is hand writing during case interviews? I'm at the beginning of case interview prep and I'm reading Case in Point...they recommend making a whole bunch of graphs and charts during the interview. I have atrocious handwriting, and I don't expect that to change by January...how much will this penalize me?
Your interviewer needs to follow your logic and read how you've labeled your structure/charts/data. Unless you're an especially talented cartoonist, that is probably going to involve some text.
My advice: learn to write in small caps. I typically have very compact cursive writing that would have been impossible for an interviewer to read, so I did a little bit of practice writing in capital print letters. Wouldn't want to do an essay that way, but it got me through "customer," "capabilities" and "competition" just fine.
I often can't read my own class notes a week later, and case interviews went just fine. Some tips:
Good luck!
fine tip ballpoint pen. no idea why this works but it's helped my handwriting tremendously. if I use a uniball or felt tip, the paper ends up looking like a Rorschach test, but fine tip ballpoint is legible.
I also agree with small caps. made the switch junior year of college, never looked back.
