Hello Zoe,

Thank you for your question.
For the case interviews, it makes sense to look around on different platforms and practise concrete case examples (e.g. e-fellows, Preplounge).
For the soft skills, I would say that the most important thing is that you are authentic, take a good look at your CV, think about why you made certain decisions and talk about team experiences. Your personality is the most important thing for us!

That's very helpful, thank you. Could you also elaborate more on the analytical/numerical aspect of the interview?

Analytical skills are tested in our analytics test before the recruiting day. Here there is a numerical, logical and verbal part that you have to solve as a candidate.

Just to confirm - if I am applying to be an intern, I do not have to complete the analytics test prior to the interview/assessment day correct?

Aside from the assessment test, is there any numerical component to the assessment day that I should prepare for or are the interviews purely case study based?

Correct, you don't have to complete the analytics test for an intern position.

Also in the case studies, there's a numerical part included. Business sense is key :)
