McKinsey Interview Preparation

Prepare For The Interview. Prepare For Life At McKinsey.

Top tier consulting firms often utilize the McKinsey model in their interview process. This is due to its ability to ensure that the company offers their positions to high achieving candidates. The process consists of four parts which culminate in a decision regarding your fit for a consulting position. Each part is designed to challenge you and provide them with key information regarding your value as a team member.

The interview process tests your problem solving skills, creativity, business acumen and communication skills. With our expert’s advice, you will know exactly what to expect at each stage of the process. Additionally, you will be prepared to overcome the challenges that are thrown your way. Work with our experts to prove that you belong on a top consulting firm team.
