01. Lessons from 10,000 hours helping candidates get into consulting - a podcast by Julio and Bruno from Crafting Cases

Real lessons come from real work, struggles, and frustrations.

In this episode, we talk about our own preparation journey as candidates and our period helping hundreds of candidates get jobs in consulting firms.

We also share how our experience as case coaches forced us to create content that helps solve real candidates' problems and the full story behind Crafting Cases.

• How to identify and answer each of the six (and only six) types of questions that you will have in your case interviews (these happen in ALL types of cases!)
  
  
• How to structure ANY case with a customized structure and how to stay structured throughout the case (even if you've never seen a case like that before)
