JULIO AND BRUNO FROM CRAFTING CASES
About this episode

This clip is an excerpt of episode 11. The #1 consultant habit you should steal from us, where we talk about how to apply the problem-solving skills from case interviews into the problems of your everyday life and about why that will bring you (1) more practice time and (2) higher quality practice.

-------------------------------

If you're looking to improve your case solving skills, make sure you check out our free course at www.craftingcases.com/course. 

Inside this free course, you will learn...

  • How to identify and answer each of the six (and only six) types of questions that you will have in your case interviews (these happen in ALL types of cases!)

  • How to structure ANY case with a customized structure and how to stay structured throughout the case (even if you've never seen a case like that before)

  • Tons of practice drills to optimize your learning (this helps you put theory into practice and focus on your weaknesses, even if you don't have the time to do mock interviews every day)
