Interview Process |
|
The first step of the interview process is to review our
open positions and to submit your application. If we feel
like there is a good fit, we will get in touch with you to
schedule an interview.
If you are currently a student, please check our campus
recruiting schedule to find out when we will be visiting
your campus.
Typically an applicant will go through at least two rounds
of interviews. At each round, we use the case interview
method as a way to get to know you better - and also for
you to get a sense of the work that we do. Our cases are
often based on real-life engagements, although sometimes
the interviewer may throw in other types of cases to test
your "out of the box" thinking.
There is no one "right" answer to our cases. We
are more interested in how you demonstrate your structured
thinking, rather than arriving at the right number. Your
answer should be based on your experience and creative
thinking, rather than regurgitating back the frameworks
that you have learned in school. At MMG Partners, we are
interested in generating measurable and lasting impact
for our clients, and we encourage our consultants to
"roll up their sleeves." We look for answers that
reflect this belief.

So, what makes a good consultant? |
|
Factors for Success:
|
|
"The key factors making for success in the management
consulting field are qualities of character, intelligence,
judgment, the ability to express oneself persuasively,
self-confidence, and self-discipline."
|
|
Problem Solver:
|
|
"The consultant is a professional problem solver who
likes solving problems for the thrill of it, for his/her own
satisfaction. S/he likes to face a variety of problems
frequently. S/he's not the kind of person who could sit for
twenty years behind the same desk."
|
|
Team Leader:
|
|
"The professional consultant must plan and organize
much of his/her own work, must readily grasp and assume
effective control of situations which are inherently
unclear, and must be able to lead people over whom s/he
excercises no authority."
|
|
Typically each interview is broken down into two types of
interviews:
"The Fit"
and
"The Case"
