First round / screening interview with McKinsey this week. What should I expect? Is this just a quick conversation with HR to go over resume or is there more to it?

I would confirm its just a phone screen and if so, be prepared to talk about your experience, why Mckinsey, what interested you in the role, salary etc. even if its with a recruiter, first impressions are really important. Be articulate in your responses. Ask thoughtful questions. Good luck!

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
