Any resources you people would recommend on getting prepped for consulting interviews and generally learning about the nature of the field?

I've applied to several positions, simply because the job descriptions (analytical thinker, blah blah) sounded suitable matches for me, but I'm still quite new in the area and would like to learn things properly.

Any books, courses, websites, certificates, etc?
