Hi Fishes! I’m having my first interview for a Talent Management Coordinator role at BCG tomorrow. It should be “just”a phone screen, no cases involved. Any tips or info to share? Thanks!

I recently had a phone screen interview with another company - not BCG. Pretty simple BUT they did throw in one “tell me about a time…” question that I didn’t expect during this phase. So it might be worthwhile to have some answers ready to a few of those situational questions.

Alright, thanks so much for sharing!And good luck !

How did it go? Any insight on questions asked?

I have been on bench for almost 4 months now & have been getting automated mails asking me to get assigned to a project by searching one by myself, else necessary action might be taken.

And are there any chances of being straightaway fired based on these automated mails?

So, I just fired my first employee as a manager and I'm heartbroken. He was a great, great person but after 6 months on a PIP he just wasn't cutting it skills-wise.

How do you deal with firing guilt? Is that a thing? I can't help but feeling like I did something wrong.

Another great conversation, went over time and was told I’d hear back about panel set up. Following day I get a request from hr rep to “continue the conversation” with manager. This is set up Tuesday.
Why do you think the manager wants to meet again? Good? Bad? I felt great about the interview when we ended.
