Do I have to provide feedback after the meeting?

Scoring peer partners after the meeting is necessary for skill development. For example, you could evaluate the performance of your partner on a scale of 1 (weak) to 5 (strong) according to several criteria, such as:

Personal appearance/professional impression
Languages kill/communication
Problem-solving/analysis
Structuring
Behavior under pressure

Your peer partners would also appreciate it if you took the time to add written comments to your feedback in the free text area. This is optional, but if you choose to do so, please be polite and honest.

How long does the case session last?

The meeting could last 45, 60 or 90 minutes. It could also be a custom time. During the meeting, both you and your peer partner should play the roles of the interviewer and the interviewee.

What happens if my peer partner doesn’t arrive on time?

The meeting can only occur if both partners enter the meeting room. We usually recommend waiting 10 to 15 minutes after the meeting starts. Then, if you’re still the only one in the room, stop the meeting and note in the feedback form that your peer partner did not arrive. As a penalty, our platform will deduct points from your partner’s reliability level.

How does the meeting room work?

The meeting room connects you to your peer partner. During the session, you can communicate via audio and video; share your device’s screen; write text messages; and exchange links and files. The meeting room also has a built-in timer so you can track your time.

How do I set up a peer-to-peer meeting?

There are two quick ways to schedule a meeting:

1) Leave your request for a peer partner meeting on the meeting board. In this case, you’ll need to add your own proposal to the list. Don’t forget to specify a convenient date and time for your online meeting, as well as any requirements you may have for your partner, such as proficiency in a certain language. Then, all you have to do is wait for someone to accept your meeting proposal.

2) Accept a meeting already proposed by someone else. In this case, you can refer to the list of various meeting offers on the meeting board. Review it carefully, paying close attention to the potential partner’s requirements. Once you find the one you like, accept the invitation to the session.

What’s the best way to prepare for my case interview?

Complete as many practice sessions as you can prior to your assessment date.Additionally, participate in sessions with your peers, experts, and/or former employees to sharpen your skills and master different aspects of the case interview. Essentially, the more you practice, the better your results will be and the more comfortable you will feel on your assessment day.

How much time should I spend preparing for my case interviews?

Spend as much time as possible preparing for your interview. The more practice you get before your assessment, the better prepared you’ll be able to prove yourself on a real case interview – and the more likely that you’ll land the job of your dreams.
