Have an MBB case interview coming up in about 10 days and have very limited understanding of cases. Starting with crafting cases today.

What else can I do in the next 10 days to prep for this? Planning to dedicate 4-5 hours each day

My advice: If you can - ask to delay to the next month. Quite frankly unless you are a senior level lateral hire where the case is probably more for traditions sake, if you have a “limited understanding” of cases you aren’t likely to meet expectations of the well prepared candidates.

That said: 10 days. Try to find an experienced live partner asap. Or multiple. That 4-5 hours a day requires other people helping you.

Priorities:
1) you have live case opp: (experienced case person best)
2) Ground-level case knowledge (Interviewee led; McKinsey style-etc) from Case in Point, etc.
3) Self practice specific skills: framing: (see a headline, make up a case, draw up a framework, present framework aloud, I think I would start here because), conclusions (across the pyramid talking structure); STAR fit questions etc.

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?
