Been actively interviewing, and some positive feedbacks I received from interviewers stemmed from me preparing by just typing up a script of expected technical resume (i organize it by how I format my resume so it’s easier and I have two screens to have it side by side with job description) and behavior background questions. I highlight key words and scan it a few times, then just practice. I would either read off of it or rephrase it so I don’t forget. It helps a lot, hope this helps!!

Hi All,

I wanted to ask two questions for the application process at MBB, I was a terrible student in high school thus my SAT scores are terrible but I graduated college with a 3.6, so will that impact my chances at MBB and be screened out by the HR system? Also is there a cover letter template to submit with my apps. Would anyone be willing to connect? Thank you for your time

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.
