One-On-One Competency interview: Here is where I think everyone's experience will differ depending on who interviews you. My interviewer was really nice, talked about her background, and gave me a chance to do the same. So it became more of a conversation rather than an interview--as least it had that feel to it. That would be my advice: try to turn it into a conversation. She asked me questions like: "Tell me about a time when you failed at something" or "Tell me about a time when you had a hectic deadline," "Tell me about a time when you worked in a group and someone wasn't pulling their weight," etc. The interview lasts about 15 to 20 minutes and at the end they'll ask you if you have any questions. This is the best opportunity to impress them. Have questions prepared, but its even better if you can personalize them--hence my earlier advice about making it into a conversation. Online Exercise: It's basically a simulation of a day's life as a consultant. You sit at a laptop and write emails and answer multiple choice questions on a laptop. It's not something to be worried about. However, there is a writing exercise at the end that it VERY important. It basically asks you to decide on which company Trafford Lea should buy. You need to reason articulately in this exercise. Group exercise--case study: When you get back from the online exercise then they split you into groups and give you a case study. This case study refers back the written exercise that you did at the completion of the online exercise. Here, the person who interviewed you in the one-on-one interview will be here plus another unbiased observer. They see how you interact for about 20 minutes, insert additional information at a critical moment, and then ask that you come to an unanimous decision. If successful, then get called back about a week later for a partner interview.
