I have an interview with a McKinsey recruiter tomorrow. It’s for a BA position but it seems like it will be pretty open ended. Does anyone have any tips? I’m currently a consultant but would be willing to move down if i can get mbb on my resume. How do I make a good impression so I get a second interview and eventually an offer?

This!!!

If you got the call they most likely want to get you in the process. Just don’t be a weirdo on the phone

The phone screening is very basic. Talk about your background. When you want to move and why. Are you eligible for work in the US, etc

You should start preparing for your case interviews now

Have new analyst on the team with an MBA and project experience. After working with them for 2 months it’s apparent that there are 0 consulting skills (excel, outlook, PowerPoint) and they freeze up even on internal calls. They are young and coachable, and I offered to put time into that. However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.
