INTERVIEW TIPS

Most interviews follow the same pattern, with three different stages in the interview, for a total of 45-50 minutes:

In the first stage, we review your previous experience, motivation and personal skills combined with how you would fit into our company.

In the second stage, one or two business cases will be discussed with you to evaluate your capabilities when dealing with a business problem. At the same time, this might present you with the opportunity to get to know typical situations we face at Delta Partners.

Finally, you have time to ask the interviewer about those aspects that are not quite clear in your understanding of Delta Partners.

We strongly recommend you to behave naturally and professionally during the interview. By concise and well-structured answers to the question you are presented, you would help the interviewer to evaluate you easily on those skills we are looking for. When dealing with the case, follow a logical structure. We suggest you approach the case by following these four steps:

Listen closely to the situation and to the questions you will be asked. Take notes and take your time to clearly understand the case

Create an approach that focuses on critical issues and guides your analysis

Analyze the problem. Ask the interviewer focused questions and evaluate the situation. Take reasonable assumptions, if needed, and support those with solid rationale

Provide clear recommendations and conclusions. Challenge your results and review those assumptions that might not be reasonable. Close the case with a solid summary

During the case, you should "think out loud" to allow the interviewer to understand the direction of your thinking. Many of our interviews are phone interviews, so this aspect becomes very relevant.

Remember, there is no "right" way of doing a case; nor is there a single answer. Demonstrating the thought process you have used is the most valuable aspect of the case. The case should be a dialogue, not a monologue, so continuous interaction with the interviewer should take place. And last but not least, have fun during your interview.
