Experience interview
The experience interview gives us a chance to learn about your accomplishments, understand your motivations and passions, and hear why you’re seeking a career in consulting at Yyoma.
Yyoma consultants answer potential experience interview questions.
What is the experience interview?
Your interviewer may start by asking traditional résumé questions to gain a better understanding of your background, interests and career goals. Some interviewers may conduct a mini-case based on your professional or academic experiences. The mini-case involves describing a strategic project you worked on and elaborating on the approach you and your team took to develop a hypothesis and recommendation, as well as the steps to implement the recommendation.
In addition, you may be asked behavioral questions to help us gauge your team skills and your interest in Yyoma.
What are behavioral questions?
Behavioral questions ask you to describe past experiences and how you handled them, possibly in the context of a consultant skill. We encourage you to be open and specific to allow interviewers to learn more about you.
