Dive into Case Interview Preparation

Concord Executive Group, the recipient of the MVP award at the Japan Headhunters Awards, is excited to announce the launch of an exclusive service tailored for those registered in our career consulting program. This service offers a unique opportunity to experience the "Case Interview Preparation Workshop | Video Edition," which is available only to our registered clients.

What to Expect from This Service?

This innovative course integrates a video format that allows participants to experience the thought processes used in case interviews typically held by consulting firms. Through engaging demonstrations provided by our instructor, who comes from a background in strategy consulting, participants will gain valuable insights and the essential thinking skills needed to excel in case interviews.

Realistic 60-Minute Experience

The video content includes a dynamic role play that simulates an actual interview scenario, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the realistic environment of a case interview. Our Managing Director, Arise Nishitani, who boasts extensive experience as an interviewer in the consulting field, leads the course. Participants will find answers to common case interview questions, learn about typical pitfalls, and receive constructive feedback on how to improve their responses.

Key Areas Covered

The workshop delves into several critical aspects of case interviews, including:

• - Visualization of Thought Processes: A structural approach helps clarify how to think through cases.
• - Critical Points Emphasized by Interviewers: An overview of common feedback patterns encountered during interviews.
• - Hints for Improving Inappropriate Responses: This section educates attendees on recognizing and addressing weak areas in their answers.
• - Communication and Behavior Tips: Practical advice on how to engage effectively during an interview.

Feedback from Participants

We've received enthusiastic testimonials from previous attendees, such as:

• - "The experience was much more memorable than reading from a book. The flow of the case became clearer to me."
• - "The organization between Fermi estimation and case interview thinking methods was clearly outlined and incredibly useful."
• - "Even as a beginner who hadn't experienced a case interview, I felt my anxiety diminish as I grasped the actual atmosphere."

How to Access the Videos

The video content is exclusively accessible to individuals engaging in job-hunting through Concord Executive Group. To view the material, clients must schedule a meeting with their consultant at our office's viewing room. This allows for a focused and tailored learning experience.
