What is Big 3?

like

Big three is definetely also used.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Three_(management_consultancies)

Anyway, to be helpful, there are so many resources online I genuinely think that’s the best place to start unless you have very specific questions. Regarding structuring, for McKinsey it’s always best to put your responses to all questions, even questions about your background, in some kind of framework. Eg., I made this decision based on three distinct factors a, b, and c. As opposed to providing a laundry list. For case questions, even better if the list is hierarchical. Eg. I think three factors will affect sales over the next year. A,B,and C. Then have points within each if necessary/possible.

Would it be a problem if I write about the same scenario from my phone screen, with more specificity? I have a great example on the innovation option, but HM already touched on this topic. I think the intent is to just gauge my writing style, but don’t want to assume.

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience.

I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for. The position is a scientist/quality role for microbiology research and development. For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.

What is the best way to make sure your resume gets seen/gets into the right hands? I've been applying for remote positions and not been hearing anything back.
