Stop Memorizing Frameworks: How to Build a Structure That's Actually Specific to [7/17/2026] (Recording)

The first few minutes of a case interview reveal more than most candidates realize. A weak opening signals that you don't have a structure. A scripted opening signals that you're not actually thinking. As a former BCG interviewer and Ross peer coach, I've watched both play out dozens of times, and I know exactly what interviewers are evaluating. This session is about building a case opening that's structured, specific, and sounds like you. Why the opening matters more than candidates think and what interviewers are actually assessing -The difference between having a structure and reciting a framework, and why interviewers can tell immediately -What a confident, specific case opening and framework sound like vs. what most candidates do A Repeatable Approach to Structuring Any Case in Real Time: You shouldn't be memorizing issue trees. You should be building them. -What to do in the 30–45 seconds of thinking time before you speak (and why most candidates waste them) -How to build a structure that's specific to the prompt in front of you rather than pulled from a template -How to adjust when the case type isn't immediately obvious Live Walkthrough: Watch the approach applied to a real case prompt from opening to structure.

Your Investment Banking Resume [8/18/2026] (Recording)

A banker reads your resume in about ten seconds. The format is solved. One page, three sections, one line per bullet, strongest first. Most people know some version of that and still spend weeks iterating, because they are trying to be completely understood on the page. That is the most common mistake and it is the one people refuse to fix. Your resume is a conversation starter and a first impression, not a full account of you. We will go through the whole page. What each section is for, how to rank what goes inside it, and the bullet formula that makes a line worth reading. Then the words to cut, starting with the ones nobody says out loud in an interview. What we'll cover: - Why ten seconds decides the format, and what that rules out - The three sections, what belongs in each, and which one should be longest - The bullet formula: strong verb, specific work, scale, result - Resume-ese and what to say instead, including why "reported" beats "researched" - Putting a number in every bullet, and how to round it - The most common mistake, which is over-explaining Want to solidify your resume and be done with it?
