SOS: How should I prepare for a case study interview with less than 24 hours to spare?
A recruiter from Deloitte just reached out to me about interviewing tomorrow for a Tech Strategy Consultant position, which will include a case study. I’ve never done one before, so I’m kind of freaking out!! What’s the best way to prepare with such short notice? Deloitte

Talk about the positive aspects of your job. What I’ve read is don’t mention negative information. It may hurt your chances of landing the next job.
Yes, this ⬆️
Agreed on framing your answer in a positive way. When I have been asked similar questions in the past, I have talked about some lessons I learned in my previous role and my desire for greater learning opportunities in a new role.
I’d also add: don’t “overcook” it and feel like you need to overexplain your reasons. Interviewers mostly just want to ensure you answer questions on leaving your past job etc professionally. Keep it short and give your answer a “positive spin”, focus on the learnings without bad mouthing your former manager and you’ll be fine :)
Thank you everyone. All your responses have been very helpful.
nothing negative, try to make it positive in what you are looking for in your next role
“I thrive in a positive team atmosphere, where the work is challenging and we can all drive it forward together, from the top of the team to the bottom, encouraging each other, challenging each other, whilst always treating each other with respect - if that’s what you’ve got here that’s what I’m looking for. Does that answer your question?”
I wouldn’t say you left. I would say the position moved out of state. Plain and simple
Probably occurred periodically for at least a week a month.
I've been there and had to deal with it.
Focus on all of the positives and what you learned and how this can benefit the company and team you’re potentially joining. It will do you no good at all to dump on your current/previous employers. That just makes you look bad. If they ask you directly, say you left for growth opportunities. I think most employers can’t fault you for leaving for wanting better for yourself. I’ve landed many new jobs with this approach.
