Interview Tips
We understand that interviews can be fairly daunting, particularly if you haven't had much experience with them. Here are a few key pieces of advice:
- Be prepared to discuss your past achievements and future aspirations, and demonstrate clearly why you are interested in a career in consulting and at Marakon in particular
- Don't shy away from asking your interviewer challenging questions about consulting and about Marakon. Remember that it's a two way process. We will be testing you, but it's also an opportunity for you to see whether Marakon is the kind of place you would like to work
- Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification if you are unsure about anything and take time to think about your answers before giving them
- Be succinct – don't waffle – but, at the same time, don't give yes or no answers
- Practice – your Careers Service will offer mock interviews
- Get feedback from other companies you may be interviewing with
- Finally, be yourself during each discussion – we want to get to know the real you
