Cracking Placements: CVs, Interviews & Shortlists

During my MBA journey, I secured consulting offers from firms such as Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), EY-Parthenon India and Global and Accenture Strategy along with 20+ interview shortlists from leading organizations including Kearney, HUL, Amazon and others.

In this session, I will share the practical lessons, strategies, and mistakes to avoid while navigating MBA placements.

Topics we can cover include:

• Building a placement-ready CV

• What recruiters actually look for

• Common CV mistakes that hurt shortlisting chances

• How to position your pre-MBA experience effectively

• Interview preparation strategies

• Answering behavioral and fit questions

• Case interview preparation approaches

• Networking and recruiter interactions

• Placement mindset and managing stress during recruitment

• Lessons learned from my own placement journey

This is not a formal CV review session. Instead, think of it as an open and candid discussion on placements, interviews, shortlists, and recruitment strategy from someone who has recently gone through the process successfully.
