Book Reviews of Case in Point:Complete Case Interview Preparation - 5th edition
Book Review: The Best Case Prep Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I interviewed with all the big consulting firms and received offers from 3 of them because of the help I found in this book. It's an excellent start to anyone's case preparation, and I constantly recommend it to other friends in business school with me. Cosentino does an outstanding job of making the ideas simple enough for anyone (even with no business courses) to understand and enjoy. Nothing can replace practicing case interviews, but I'd suggest everyone start here by reading the tips and then the case examples to get an idea of what case interviews are like. I've read many books and case study guides, and if you're going to read only one, this should be it!Book Review: master the case interview!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Its a great book for preparing yourself for the case interview with consulting firms. The author really makes it an easy read with good humour so you don't get bored after reading the first chapter. The framework and system that he outlines gives you the best foundation to tackle any case that is thrown at you. A definite buy if you're going to a consulting interview.
- Read the book (more than once)
- Practice as many cases as you can (with friends, colleagues...)
- don't leave it to the last minute!!
With this book you'll have no trouble mastering the case.
Book Review: Incredibly helpful for case interviews
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book incredibly helpful for my case interview with a consulting firm this fall. I only read it briefly, but the basic strategy laid out in this book is simple and easy to conceptualize (and therefore easy to remember).
I am planning to keep this book handy for future case interviews.
Book Review: Excellent resource!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great preperation guide for case interviews. The only short coming was that some case interviews were quite unstructured. I also suggest using the SCQ framework for framing the problems & issue based problem solving approach.Book Review: Great, thorough, entertaining case prep
Summary: 5 Stars
Marc Cosentino does an excellent job preparing you for case interviews. He knows what he is talking about, and he presents the material in an entertaining way, too! I highly recommend this book for everyone, but especially for those recruiting for a job in the consulting industry. Cosentino's book definitely helped me in getting a job with a great consulting firm.
I strongly recommend this book.
