Hi AlixPartners folks, can any of you provide some guidance on best way to prepare for an upcoming Red Carpet day? Specifically for the case interview and other standard interviews. Any tips help! Thx

Really focus on executive presence and confidence during the case presentation. If you’ve never read the pyramid principles, I would read up on that and follow that approach for my case presentation as well. You’ll get a huge packet of info for the case presentation, you don’t need to use every piece of info from it to do well.

Also treat your lunch like an actual interview (because that person will write a review)- be conversational and ask questions even though you likely won’t be talking about your resume ( in mine we talked about how to optimize Delta miles for the majority of it)

The cognitive test are really easy and the so-called “psych evaluation” is just someone with a background doing a standard behavioral interview.

For the other experience based / behavioral interviews really focus on impact of your projects (EBITDA Improvement), also be ready to a set questions like what kind of project could you slot into on day 1 and be productive. If you are a retail person this could be like COGS stuff, if you a Ops person a typical answer might be 4-walls manufacturing or a Operations due diligence.

I’m curious to know how much the case weighs into AP’s decision compared to all of the other assessments and interviews/lunch at the red carpet day?

During the Q&A following the case the directors mentioned they were really pushing me with their questions, so it was hard to read.

It's mostly behavioral questions. Just make sure you're brushed up on the projects you've done and what you specifically contributed. Get to know the kind of projects we do (check out insights section on website) and showcase similar client situations from your experience. Be nice to everyone you meet, including the ones who you don't think have a say in the end result.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
