Cases can be a helpful tool to help you prepare for a job interview. Find out how they can contribute to your success.
The case method
If you've been taught by the case method, alongside business and management theories, you will have developed a wide range of skills that enhance your employability, including:
- challenging assumptions
- overcoming prejudices
- testing theories
- debating solutions
- developing work and life skills.
These will all be key to showcase during a job interview.

Cases in an interview
Some organisations, especially management consultancy firms, use cases as part of their interview process. The interviewer may provide a written case, or simply present a situation or question, for candidates to analyse and explore. The skills used to analyse a case for a case class will all give candidates an advantage.
