What I have found fascinating about the show is the common themes I hear from the many Academy Award winners that have been interviewed on the show.

“I need to have an online presence, post regularly on social media, write articles for LinkedIn, join organizations, and network like crazy, and, and, and…”.

Funny because I got vaccinated four months ago. When I think of how much time our CRM saves us on just excluding people when sending something it’s worth the price of the annual subscription. Don’t have in-house people try to keep up on all the everchanging rules, hire people who do this all the time. Edgar Allan Poe.

In fact, it’s probably the biggest step you can take in your career. Making this transition in your own team is particularly hard, and in many ways much harder than stepping into management in a new team or organisation. My bosses have given me the chance to step up but I’m very aware that the team don’t see me like that.’.

I’m going to give you two answers to that question. I’ll give you a simple example.

At consulting firms like McKinsey, you will receive a personal experience interview (or McKinsey PEI). Other times, you will receive 10 - 15 minutes of these kinds of questions before you get a case interview. The format will vary by firm, but make no mistake about it, they will ask you about your personal career experiences.
