Your practice track for Consulting Associate
at Boston Consulting Group

Philippine-specific tips for this role

• ▸ A common mistake is to jump straight to 'tara, resolve natin agad' without first listening to the client's full background. Instead, demonstrate a structured, data-driven thought process by asking clarifying questions first.
• ▸ Some candidates over-apologize for minor delays or blame external factors, saying 'sorry po, traffic kasi eh.' Instead, focus on what you actively did to overcome obstacles and drive the result.
• ▸ Avoid generic statements like 'magandang company kasi si BCG.' Instead, mention a specific BCG project or value that resonates with you, like their commitment to social impact or their innovation framework.
• ▸ Some candidates panic and repeatedly ask 'ano po gagawin?' without trying to figure it out themselves. Instead, show resilience: outline what you do know, what you need to find out, and the steps you will take.
