Posted 25 November 2010 - 7:48pm by ZlatanOverSea

Hi guys!

Has anyone had first round telephone interviews for LEK in London?

I will have one next week (1 dec 2010). It is going to be two 45 minute telephone interviews. Does anyone know what to expect? Qualitative? Quantitative? Case? What type of questions? etc. Grateful for all advice I can get!

Thanks a lot!

Best,
