Look Over My Shoulder Issue Tree Diagrams
The following issue tree diagrams are for use with: • Case 2, Example 2 • Case 4, Example 3 • Case 5, Example 4 Very important: Don’t look at these diagrams until you get to those specific cases! They are a visual representation of the “answer” as drawn by the candidate. These are the kinds of diagrams I STRONGLY, STRONGLY, STRONGLY encourage you to draw in your interviews. It is one big difference that separates those that excel at case interviews versus those that are merely good. If you do a case properly, the issue tree diagrams are easy to draw. Basically you draw as you talk and it should feel very natural if you are using a structured problem-‐solving process. If you don’t follow a structured, logical, linear, step-‐by-‐step fashion to solving your cases, you will find it’s very difficult to draw an issue tree diagram that others can easily follow. In fact, this is why I did not include issue diagrams for most cases—the case structure was too hard to follow, and therefore too difficult to diagram (or would be extremely confusing if diagrammed). If you even glance at the pages briefly, there’s a chance you might “get” the answer before you’ve had a chance to listen along / struggle along the cases yourself. So I recommend you avoid looking at the diagrams until you reach those particular examples. Good Luck! -‐Victor
