The case interview is employed primarily by consulting firms and hospitals hiring administrative fellows and other management-type roles. Case interviews are increasingly being used by other types of organizations as well.  \nBelow you will find a summary of the differences between behavioral interviews and case interviews. You will also find many helpful websites, practice sites, and additional information to help you prepare for your case interviews.  \nBehavioral Interview Summary  \nThe behavioral interview technique is used by employers to evaluate a candidate's past experiences and behaviorsin order to determine their potential for future success. The interviewer identifies desired skills and behaviors, and then asks for very specific examples from the candidate’s prior experience to demonstrate that they indeed possess these skills. For example, an interviewer might ask,“Could you give me a specific example of when you worked with a difficult team member, and how you handed it?”  \nCase Interview Summary  \nThe case interview is one in which \"you are introduced to a business dilemma facing a particular company. You are asked to analyze the situation, identify key business issues, and discuss how you would address the problems involved.\" (MIT Careers Handbook)  \nFor preparing for case interviews, below are several resources:  \n• Take a look at this excellent YouTube video that showcases the flow of a case interview:  \n[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-VgpMrFlIs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-VgpMrFlIs)  \n• Case in Point by Marc Cosentino.
