Candidates pursuing consulting careers get very anxious about case study interviews. Sometimes they get so anxious about case studies that they neglect the other key type of question management consulting firms ask which is the fit or behavioral question.

This is somehow normal. After all, case studies are the specific way of interviewing that not a lot of candidates have seen before; while behavioral interview questions sound like the ones all sorts of companies ask. Therefore you may think you can just wing an answer but the truth is YOU CAN’T!

Failing your fit interview questions will get you passed over just as quickly as failing on a case.
