Talk about problem solving
Be authentic and confident. Talk about your skills and experiences but don’t act like a braggart. Talk about how you’ve worked well in teams. Use “we”. Most people at McK are brilliant and accomplished, and if you make it through to the in person interview, chances are you are too. Have confidence that they will see that in you and don’t oversell. We want smart, interesting people, but we need people who are great team members, and people who our clients will enjoy working with. Emotional intelligence is huge. Most of the people I work with on a daily basis are as brilliant as the are humble. Our values are also very important, most notably personal integrity: so don’t ever lie or exaggerate.
