Behavioral Tips
For a behavioral interview, it is important to be concise and clearly show the interviewer why you are a perfect candidate! You want to be able to navigate questions in a way that gives concrete examples to create a narrative of who you are and why. The STAR strategy is a format that can help you accomplish this–
STAR:
Situation - What was the context of this story?
Task - What was your responsibility?
Action - What steps did you take?
Result - What was the outcome of your actions?
Make sure to practice and think about yourself- what are your traits, passions, and experiences you want the interviewer to remember? Below are some common behavioral questions to help you start your preparation!
Behavioral Questions:
Tell me about yourself.
What is your greatest strength? What about your greatest weakness?
What are your goals for the future?
How would a coworker describe you?
How would a supervisor describe you?
Tell me about a time when you had to solve a problem.
Why do you want to be a consultant?
Describe a time you had to make a quick decision, were you right?
What is your communication style?
How do you handle juggling multiple responsibilities?

CHC’s last 2 recruitment rounds will include case interviews. The case interview is meant to test an applicant on problem solving, both qualitative and quantitative reasoning, and communication. The general format of a case interview will involve getting a prompt with some sort of business problem, and then being asked questions in which you advise the client on how to solve the problem or make a decision.
Here are some tips to keep in mind to help you succeed during a case!
Take notes whenever you are given new information!
When given the opportunity, ask questions! Whether clarifying questions to make sure you understand the prompt, or more questions about the scenario laid out for you, these questions will help you build your strategy.
Get comfortable with some basic financial calculations and be familiar with terms having to do with the healthcare industry, as well as business terminology.
Stay structured and concise in your answers. There are different frameworks you can think about, or make your own. Through this, you can make sure you are covering all of your bases.
Practice! We have linked here some practice cases specific to the healthcare industry (In the cases we have included example answers, but the possibilities are not limited to these! Don’t be afraid to be creative and think outside of the box)
