Interview Prep Session
​​​​​​​Virtual workshop - date & time to be decided.
We will dive into the world of case interviews and provide you with the tools and guidance necessary to approach these interviews with structure and clarity.

Remember, practice makes perfect, and this session is just the beginning of your case interview preparation journey.
#IamRemarkable workshop
Virtual workshop - date & time to be decided.
#IamRemarkable is a Google initiative empowering women and underrepresented

And just like that 3 months will be over, and we will close the BCG Circles Mentoring Program with what an interview would look like at BCG Switzerland.
