I haven't done one of these in a few years. Can anyone share some tips, and/or specifics on types of questions that would be asked. I was told it would be about a ~15 minute ordeal. West Monroe

@staff I’m not a consultant, I’m internal and have a pretty good view of “how the sausage is made” (except in recruiting apparently). That said the firm really truly does make every decision thinking about its people first, almost to a fault. That’s what surprises me most about this video interview, it just seems to be the opposite of everything else we do 🤷‍♂️

For campus - expect classic elevator pitch, why West Monroe, why what practice you are applying to

It’s not as much an interview as a pitch video to differentiate yourself among hundreds of applicants. Just be authentic and prepared to speak to why west Monroe, why consulting, and what you’re interested in. I’m sure if you are positive and have fun with it you will get converted to the actual interviews with people.
