'Hang on their every word. And flatter their self-image as “the best of the best” and the most jet-lagged of the jet-lagged.' No thanks.

- cgio 11y agoActually, no don't do it. I am interviewing for vacationers lately and many people seem to be doing that. It may work with some interviewers, but for me it looks very acted, kind of creepy and in any case irrelevant. If you want a tip for management consulting interviews, act like if you are ready to work, discuss your thought process, ask questions where you don't know something, say something that demonstrates imagination, knowledge or creativity and maybe even act a little by getting on the whiteboard as you would in a meeting. If you got the interview you are halfway there, I am assuming HR has already filtered for the best. The interviewer past me will assume even more.
- Ecio78 11y agoThis is more or less what happened when I was hired for my current (tech job): I was asked about a real life problem by the interviewer (my soon-to-be colleague/manager) and I explained how I would have dealt with it (my thought process etc..). I asked question when I didn't know something, and I also wrote an email few hours/one day later confirming my interest for the company and adding a couple of things that could have not been clear during the interview about my skills. And when I went there for the second interview, as I had studied a bit more on their real problem, I had the opportunity to add few more thoughts on it.
