What is the Interview Process with UMS Advisory?
UMS Advisory’s interview process involves a combination of case interviews and experience interviews. For your interview, you may have separate case and experience interviews or a combined case/experience interview.

» Case interviews
We value the case interview process as a means for us to get to know each other better. It is a chance for you to show us how you think through a real business problem and for us to give you an example of the kinds of work we see every day.

The case interview is only one dimension of the recruiting process, but it is typically the part that raises the most anxiety. We hope the information in this section will help you to prepare for the case so that you can be confident and enjoy the interview.

» Experience interviews
In addition to the case interview, you may have an experience interview in which the interviewer will use traditional resume questions, a mini-case based on your experience and/or behavioral questions to understand your past experience and gain an understanding of your interest in UMS Advisory. The behavioral questions involve asking you to describe your actions in a past experience in the context of a critical consultant skill.
