Case Interview buddy

1) read case in point, mckinsey quarterly (gives you interesting things to talk about, much better than typical news paper, and to say on your case interviews), and read case books 2) Practice Practice Practice, ask all your friends, ask anyone who rejected you for feedback, and constantly ask for feedback (not bs like good communication but actual feedback like before you do a case market sizing, say 3 ways you can get it eg. survey, look at revenue stream, ask management, benchmark/comparables and compare with our stastics, and then do the actual sizing) 3) try to keep in mind that you can probably get passed the first round by doing everything "standard" in an interview but for 2nd round you need to stand out. Getting the right answer is not good enough, so show some flare : ). Make the problem harder. Go one step above. This is not a finance class. You can get 100% and not stand a chance. You need to get everything right and then add something on top (eg. mckinsey quarterly ratings, instead of asking a lot of questions just throw out like 50 possibilities before you make hypothesis, something to show that you did your homework)
