IE Consulting Club has recently completed the Crack the Case seminar, a two weeks course aimed to provide the practical tools necessary for students to succeed in the demanding selection process of a consulting firm.
During the last weeks, the seminar, lead by Filippo Prina Mello, has explored the best tools available to:
- Learn how to structure a case interview.
- Understand the best techniques to approach cases in an interview.
- Ensure that the end of the interview is even better than the rest of the interview.
- Have a safe environment to practice cases.
According to the exigent selection to come, the course reinforced the idea of continuous preparation as a major instrument to increase the chances of success.
IE Consulting Club plans to carry this event twice a year enabling both November and April intakes to develop further skills for the case interview. Additional help could be found in the IE Consulting Club web community.
A discussion on US Labor Markets, led by Professor Gayle Allard, and coordinated by IE's US Business Club, brought together approximately 30 students from several programs. In these tough economic times, Prof. Allard identified several of the industry and business trends and provided many resources for students to research US labor information. It was interesting to hear an economist's point of view regarding the macro- and micro- state of affairs in the country with the world's largest GDP.
Bodegas Bretón
Founded in 1983 by local businessmen led by the Bretón
family, its modern facilities can now be visited in Navarrete, where the "Loriñón" range is produced, alongside the top reds that gave the winery its good name, especially Dominio de Conté. The firm has a hundred hectares of its own vines located in Rioja Alta and currently manages 4 wine brands: Alba de Bretón, Pagos del Camino, Dominio de Conté and Loriñón.

With an average vine age well over 25 years and strict control of yields and harvesting, Bretón maintains a high level of structure and fruit intensity within a traditional style reference.
The Gourmet Club would like to thank Grupo Peñin, Bodegas Bretón and José Ryan to make this great event happen.
