S19E29: Case Creative Masterclass – Stop Rambling and Nail Brainstorming Questions
Brainstorming questions are one of the trickiest and most under-practiced parts of the case interview. They can make or break your chances.
In this Case Creative Masterclass, presented by Bates White - a leading economic consulting firm - you’ll learn how to spot brainstorming questions, build a structured response on the fly, and avoid the “rambling” trap that sinks many candidates.
We cover the two main types of creative questions, a simple framework to structure your ideas, and how to prioritize insights.
In addition, watch a live expert demonstration of what an excellent answer looks like in real time.
