I have a final interview coming up at AlixPartners. In many ways it's my dream job. However I am quite new to the consulting world.

What can I expect at a final interview with a Managing Director for a consultant role? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It’s pretty chill. Be prepared to explain your personal value proposition - “how will you immediately add value to the firm”. Otherwise, it’s more about fit and being yourself.

Whether someone does a case or not depends on the role and practice area in which they are recruiting.

Be prepared for all the usual. But also have a story that can relate to the firm’s values and culture. How does “when it really matters” resonate with you?

Thank you! I didn't know about "when it really matters".

I can think of a few experiences at my current job and my beliefs that should "resonate". Does that sound right or am I misconstruing the word?

Get ready to travel a lot with them.

Interview questions will definitely start with, "Why did you choose to apply for this job?". Questions will focus on your problem-solving skills, time-management and questions about yourself. But don't think too much. Just be yourself and be confident.
