Pro tips
- Check eligibility before you apply: this JD excludes Marketing-Major students. Apply only if marketing is your minor or you are in another specialisation, and do not burn a shortlist slot otherwise.
- Decode the role names first: ESAP is the Enterprise SAP practice, DNA is Data & Analytics. Prepare one crisp story for whichever you prefer and state that preference out loud. Interviewers reward clarity.
- Two business interviews reward depth over breadth. Prepare two or three work-ex or project stories with numbers you can defend twice, and rehearse one guesstimate and one process-improvement case aloud.
