Mock Case Interviews

- New to case interviews? Marc walks you through a case structure while you generate analyses, share ideas, and run through the math. Small groups work though a case together.
- Have you done some cases? Marc provides coaching as you move through the case.
- Are you ready to interview tomorrow? Marc runs through a case as an actual interviewer (no helpful hints!).
You’ll get feedback on your strengths and gaps plus a case review sheet with a game plan to improve your performance.

For Public-Sector Candidates
Case Interview Workshop – Government and Nonprofit Organizations
(half-day)
Public-sector industries face unique challenges, stakeholders, and opportunities. Outside of this workshop, there are few places where consolidated resources exist or where best practices are shared. You’ll walk away with an insider’s understanding from Evan Piekara– a consultant who has been on both sides of the case interview table. Evan teaches you how to approach, analyze, and address the most sophisticated cases. From understanding the public sector ecosystem to preparing for interviews, from learning about the top frameworks as well as the best resources to guide your career going forward, you can use this workshop to hit the ground running. You can also set yourself apart from countless others applying to Big 4, mid-market, and boutique firms.
On-Campus Workshops starting at $4,000. Zoom workshops $3,500.
For Career Services Professionals
Train-the-Trainer
How to give a case and write a case interview (90 minutes to 3 hours)
Marc teaches you how to give a case interview with confidence, providing substantial feedback and “next steps” for success along the way. You get handouts to review with students to ensure they are covering key elements in answering a case. You get structures for the four most popular cases. Plus, you get two “ready-to-give” unpublished cases.
In the extended format, you learn to write your own case – because the best way to learn how to give a case is to write one. Not only will you own your case, you will know all the possible solutions. Your confidence will increase when giving students cases, and you will deliver more realistic experiences to others as you go.
On-Campus workshops starting at $4,000. Zoom workshops $3,500.
Case Competition Workshops
Create best-in-class competitions for orientation, or to choose and train your team for national competitions (75 minutes)
For the Corporate Sector – Case Competitions
Executives
Challenge your people to develop innovative products or services (60-90 minutes)
Marc consults with you on how to create a game-changing case competition – while scouting your top performers. You will learn more about the value of case competitions; how to make them smart, run them, and judge them; and how to tailor them to your goals, budget, and needs.
