Experience
You can memorize the C’s, P’s, Forces, and all the other acronyms. Or you can actually learn real business strategy fundamentals you can consistently apply to your cases.  
PROVEN RESULTS: Have helped undergraduates, recent grads, and even MBA students receive offers from the top strategy consulting firms in the US.
     

I can relate to every emotion you feel right now. Balancing job preparation, going to class, and enjoying your time as a student are no easy tasks. Recruiting can become such an immense time burden and drain on your life. I was there. I went through fifteen first round interviews and endured the heartache of countless rejections. That misery is something I'll never forget, and it has served as my inspiration for starting this case interview prep service.

VALUE PROPOSITION:
In 2006, I served as an undergraduate recruiting lead for my firm at Northwestern University. My position as a recruiting lead has given me keen insight into the case interview process and the necessary requisites to successfully obtain a full time position. I've been there first hand for the behind-the-scenes conversations where candidates are meticulously evaluated and decisions to hand out offers are made. Through the years I've learned what's tested and what interviewers look for.

Using my experience and inside knowledge, in 2007 I developed a customized case prep course to provide students a structured approach towards learning how to manage the case interview. In our training sessions I will teach you the fundamental business concepts you need to know to successfully navigate through a case and impress your interviewer. In addition, I will provide you with actionable feedback after every session so that you know your strengths, but more importantly where your biggest opportunities for improvement are.

The complications of the case interview may stump you and make you feel at a loss for direction. They're hard! Looking back on my own recruiting experience, I learned that relying on books gave me a false sense of confidence. I could talk like a consultant, but in the end that vocabulary lacked any type of substance. What I needed more than anything was someone to truly mentor me through the recruiting process and teach me methods to consistently work through a case.

My bottom line goal is to get you employed. With guidance and practice, you will learn to leverage strategies to control the direction of the case that will help build your poise and focus. Your confidence will grow as you slowly adopt that ‘rip through it’ mentality, where you begin believing you can tackle any business case. My commitment to you will be to do anything in my power to get you to this level so that come interview time you can demonstrate what you have already proven during your academic career: you're resourceful, intelligent, and above all else, WORTH HIRING.


 
 
     
 

“Being a psychology major and having limited business experience, I was extremely nervous about doing cases. When I started reading case books I was frustrated because I felt like I was only learning generic frameworks and mnemonic devices. The Case Ace program goes beyond this and actually teaches you in an easy-to-understand way real business strategy. Using product and company examples like the iPod and Facebook allowed me to relate to case concepts so much quicker and easier. Best investment I ever made!”
