Last minute prep

I have two interviews (60 minutes each, back to back) for a Graduate - Associate Consultant (Strategy) role at Mastercard in Europe and I literally have one week to prepare.

The first interview is motivation, fit related and the second one is a technical business case interview.

What can I do to prepare if I only have one week? Should I even bother?

Thanks!

I had four days to prepare for my first round at MBB and ended up moving to final round doing the following.

  1. Read “Case in Point” it’s not perfect but it’s a great intro into casing
  1. Watch all the YouTube mock case interviews, it will show you the format in which you should follow
  1. Try to find someone to case with and try to get better at one think after every case

Good luck!
