Your videos are as useful for graduates as they are for experienced professionals. Even though I get it that focusing on top tier graduates make more sense for your business atm. In any case, your case problems and answers are very well articulated and describe simple challenges, yet hardly understood or addressed by most.

Brilliant structured video. Loved the clarity this video provides in shaping up the answers

Very insightful, never saw someone explaining this tough question in such a understandable way. Thank you!

These are some really helpful tips, thank you for sharing. It takes a lot to prepare for an interview and anticipate the underlayer of such common asked questions and this video has made it a little bit easier.

Anybody who would mention NHL '94 in an interview with me would get hired on the spot.

Hi... I was studying flow this morning & through navigating links came across your excellent video. Very good points to bear in mind as I re-write my CV after many years. Thanks.

Hey Kenton, thanks heaps for your videos - there's an overwhelming amount of online material for case interviews but not so much for the often underestimated fit part of the interview for consulting firms. I have 3 questions and would love your insights on these:
1) How would you approach or address your educational background in this question, and how important is it (i.e. is it even worth explaining)?
2) Would something in the following lines work: "I studied econ because ABC, then learned and became passionate about XYZ and that eventually influenced my choice of internships/career" ?
3) What's the best way when answering this question to talk about your academic achievements (i.e. GPA)?
Thanks!

Your videos are great and this one really explained everything in an easy manner. In questions like these, for fresh graduates should we and if so how do we include academic projects?

[yugu]

Thanks a lot!!! it's really useful and inspirational :)

[chakripothamsetty]

Is there a good time frame in which we can answer this question(lets say for 3-6 yrs of experience)? Maybe 2 mins is good or 5 mins is too long. Anything on that?

The gist of the video starts at 02:40 min

What's you thought about using the same narrative to question - Tell me about yourself ?

[sakshimalviya]
