Case studies

Employers use case studies to assess your ability to solve problems. They are intended to see your ability to absorb and analyse information, make logical decisions, argue your point and clarify issues.

You can also view Episode 7: Case Studies [QT Video, PDF Slide version, Text version] of our Mini-Series: Own Your Selection Process.
