A group interview is a good place for interviewers to see how you would work with future colleagues and clients. You may get into a situation where other people say something “stupid”, don’t get frustrated. Be respectful to your teammates. Instead, say “I have a different approach that…” or “You may want to check these numbers” to gently correct them without making them feel bad. Doing so would indicate that you are a supportive team player whom any consultant would be happy to work with.

When you hear something “smart”, what should you do? Be the first to spot it and urge the team to work with it. The interviewer will give you bonus points for your quick observance.

So, when you realize that your idea is wrong, should you ignore it? The answer is simply NO. Acknowledge your flaw and quickly turn back to the right track. This shows that you are a candidate who is flexible, unafraid to accept his flaws and is willing to work with the team to find the right solution.  Interviewers would appreciate that!

Finally, don’t forget to dress smart,  pay attention to your body language and language skills and you will be fine.

Hopefully, this article has helped you to become more psyched up for group case interviews!
