you are more conscious about your communication techniques in order to be fully understood by the interviewerĢ. you have a strong internet connection b.quiet place to take the interview from c. I have had several candidates who have successfully performed in Skype interviews without any hassle. If technology usage is saving the cost and time, consulting companies wouldn't mind it. Interviewing on skype is quite acceptable and happening more and more in consulting world. However, if you feel you get a better idea of the firm and of the people working there if you go and see the office, then go for it.Įx-Mckinsey|Certified Career Coach |Placed 500+ candidates at MBB & other consultanciesġ. If you feel secure about those things there is no real need to show up to the interview in person (and btw, if MBB would think so, they would invite you to the office).

However, the most important part of the interview is still how you perform on cases and during the personal fit part. Show strong commitment - flying there is likely to show your interviewer an increased level of commitment and how serious you are about this jobĪll these figures may indeed give you an advantage over candidates who have only interviewed via phone or video.Easier to get a feeling for the fit - it is not only often a bit diffifult to build a connection with your interviewer if you are solely interacting via video, it is also more difficult to figure out how well you get along with your interviewer.More natural interaction - less perceived distance, sometimes you experience technical difficulties in video / phone interviews like delays or disruptions of the video transmission.There are indeed benefits of a face-to-face interview: Meaning, either they meet me in person if I come in for round 1 or we do everything virtually.Įx-Oliver Wyman with 100% interview success rate - specialized in female career coaching This is only round 1 out of potentially 2 rounds of interviews, whereby chances are high that the second round would be done remotely no matter where I live. This would be on purpose for the interview, but I wouldn't mine combining it with a personal vacation.ġ) did anyone have positive experiences with Skype interviews with consulting firms? Especially when you can expect at least 2 case studies?Ģ) would changing my mind and letting them know that I actually will be in country a few weeks later than the discussed Skype dates be perceived as too eager? Or would it be in my benefit to simple go ahead and make the effort to come in person?

While I agreed to the Skype interview mid March as I wasn't planning to go to Europe any time soon, I now wonder if it would be smarter to suggest a later date (maybe 2 weeks later) but actually be in country and come in person. Otherwise, I'd have to do it over video on Skype. However, they did say that if I was planning to be in the country sometime this year, they would be able to fly me in from whatever city in the country to the testing center (it appears as though there is no real rush/cut off time to do the interview). While most candidates will be coming in person to the testing site for the first round of interviews, because I live oversees they said they do not pay for transatlantic flights. I just recently got an invite to interview for a senior consultancy position in Europe with a consulting firm. I am looking to do a career switch and go into mgmt consulting.
