The fact that he was able to sell his credentials as "optimal" to you proves that the video did its job wonderfully. As a viewer, you do not a way to verify his work except from his own words. Maybe some of his work was not so optimal but he successfully managed to convey his impact. I think that's the only thing that you can change/control before & during the interview.
@@sunitgautam7547 Not really. Top Grades, Top Business School and he worked in VC at Bain Capital which is a very competitive firm and almost impossible to get into directly out of undergrad. Your argument would hold if his grades weren't that great and he worked at less competitive firms but still managed to make his experience stand out.
You suppose to get a job because it is you, not because you learn to be it. I will focus on the skills that are needed for the position. Make sure that I have those skills at a high level. Weighting if I do not have that level of skills "will I be able to cover the duties fast compared to others?". If you ask yourself and find the answer "Yes", you will likely be able to get a job.
But what if "you" don't interview well. Nothing wrong in learning how to interview. It is indeed a skill, just like learning how to talk/present at work.
@@asterx_obelix653 so your answer is not your own self. It is someone else. No need to prepare, if it is your field and if it is the job for you, if it is outstanding, you do not need to prepare. I do not like to prepare for an interview. There is no passion in my answer. It is a blog of preparation
@@arpsri9675 preparation doesn't mean to put forward someone who isn't you. preparation means putting forward a structured version of you, rather than an incoherent one. For some it comes naturally, and for some it takes time. Regardless of the field, no-one wants to sit in front of someone spewing incoherent thoughts.
@@asterx_obelix653 they are not confident then. Those people have some worries. But you might be right. I just personally do not like it. Surely when you prepare, it will sound good, very good even. But that is what you prepare to tell. You might even say it because you know it will give you a job, not because it is you. You avoid your true self. If your parents ask you the same question, you will not prepare what to say. Make it that way, I think it is better.
7:11 "We didn't have any relationship [w the possible investor]", 8:02 the interview's boss has "worked with them in the past". Or I've lost something in between or something is at least suspicious.
Well spotted! The full story is that the investor I worked with for a subsidiary of a large financial institution. My boss, the managing partner, had had a dispute with that financial institution so did not believe we would be able to work with the subsidiary. We did not have existing relationship with the subsidiary. It all worked out in the end. I suppose we flew under the radar!
I am a bit confused about this session: the interviewer asked clearly about give me an example about ‘ how’ did you influence, when you had to ... but had no authority of control..., then the candidate didn’t come to the point at all, but emphasized on what end result he achieved, until a few discussions later and the interviewer repeated the question again, he just came to point about ‘how’. Is this really worktable?
Hi Hui - At 6:24 the interview starts by asking the candidate to give an example of influencing someone, but does yet ask "How" this was achieved. Only at 7:45 does he pop the "How" question. It is a classical example of top-down communication. You first share the big picture / the headline, and you only go into details if requested.
Yeah of course everyone applying at mbb raised millions or got featured in the national newspaper. Very relatable Thankss
How about run this again but with a candidate with worse credentials, see how he responds when not everything in his history is optimal.
Yeah this interviewee is making me feel bad about my resume ^^

but those firms would only screen people with those backgrounds for sure...
@@namjoonkim4011 yeah the interviewer said at the end that this would be a really strong candidate for McKinsey.
This is so helpful, I’m preparing for my consulting interviews. This will come in super handy.
Did you end up getting the job?

Thin line between the 2.

Do you have any video tutorial or online source for "Associate" interview in McKinsey ? Kind regards,
Of course. Check out the Interview Prep Course on CaseCoach.com
Does his “umms” and other nervous speech words count as a negative?
That’s because English is not his first language, and I think interviewers take that into consideration
nicolas cage is that you?
What he says is good but shouldn't go "erm and er ".
Maybe that’s not his story and he’s just making up things (on the fly or not) for the purpose of the video?
