Natasha Davie
Senior Associate, The Boston
Consulting Group (BCG)
"As I got more confident and started
enjoying the case part of the interview,
I also began developing the personality
or ‘fit’ part of the interview. Applying the STAR method
(see p.53) for answers and practicing with real
companies that The Careers Service brought in house."
(See Natasha’s profile on p.5)
AFTER THE INTERVIEW
HANDLING OFFERS OR REJECTIONS
If you’re offered a job and are still hoping to hear back from
other recruiters, look up the advice on handling offers on the
‘Application Process’ pages of The Careers Service’s website.
If you are still unsure, discuss your situation with a Careers
Adviser (see p.4).
If you are not offered the job, reflect on this to learn from the
experience and try not to lose confidence. Ask the recruiter
for feedback: it is not always given – or it can be rather
bland – but sometimes it can be really helpful.
