If they're graduates, that it's okay to not be good at everything or know how to do everything all at once. Stay persistent, and don't be afraid to ask the 'stupid questions.' You're responsible for your own understanding of your role and what comes with it (to a degree of course)
Graduate, Melbourne
In terms of preparation it's helpful to think about past experiences in prior jobs and at university and how to discuss challenging or rewarding situations that they've faced in a structured and meaningful way (i.e., STAR response). During the interview itself, it's important to remember to smile and be yourself as much as possible while also being professional - the team want to know they're bringing in a person they can relate to, and enjoy having around in the office / working alongside through the years to come rather than a robot!
Graduate, Melbourne
Maybe give insight of what consulting can be like. Doing lots of new things and things that may put your our of your comfort zone. Anything goes, really.
Graduate, Sydney
I would recommend doing some research before the interview process of common questions and prepare answers in advance, so you aren't having to think on your feet, keep a record of your best projects and or reports for evidence of your ability to perform the tasks required for the job and be kind and courteous during the interview process.
Graduate, Sydney
I would say show an eagerness and passion for the type of work, its what my biggest strength was

Be genuine, discuss the things you are passionate about - both work and extracurricular - and the skills you've learnt from them.

search the company well before the interview.
Be confident.
Prepare examples to support your answers for situational questions from your work and/or university.
