Create a Conference Proposal the Conference Wants and Accepts, Part 2: Start with Outcomes

Johanna Rothman

Now that you've framed your proposal, start with what you want people to talk away from the talk, the outcomes. Why? Because too many descriptions are a promise for an outcome or what people will learn. If you're coy about the outcomes, people can't select themselves in or out for your presentation. Speakers who say, “Everyone should hear my ideas” kid themselves.

BCG Interview

CaseInterview.com

I received an email the other day from an F1Y (future first year) who recently got an offer following his BCG interview. I asked him to describe the interview format he experienced and make some suggestions for others who will soon be going through the BCG interview process.

BCG Lateral Hire

Question: I recently completed six interviews with BCG and am about to receive my offer to join them as a Project Lead.

Yes, some small businesses (perhaps many) didn’t survive. But the politicians made it seem like these small retailers were thriving businesses with very high paid employees.
