Senior Associate, The Boston<br />
Consulting Group (BCG)<br />
"As I got more confident and started<br />
enjoying the case part of the interview,<br />
I also began developing the personality<br />
or ‘fit’ part of the interview. Applying the STAR method<br />
(see p.53) for answers and practicing with real<br />
companies that The Careers Service brought in house."<br />

HANDLING OFFERS OR REJECTIONS<br />
If you’re offered a job and are still hoping to hear back from<br />
other recruiters, look up the advice on handling offers on the<br />
‘Application Process’ pages of The Careers Service’s website.<br />
If you are still unsure, discuss your situation with a Careers<br />
Adviser (see p.4).<br />
If you are not offered the job, reflect on this to learn from the<br />
experience and try not to lose confidence. Ask the recruiter<br />
for feedback: it is not always given – or it can be rather<br />
bland – but sometimes it can be really helpful.<br />
