The Toothbrush Test is great to improve your frameworks, but how do you actually create them? How could you create a framework for a non-business case, for instance? We teach that (and much more) in the Frameworks Module of our free course (www.craftingcases.com/freecourse). Besides that, you'll also learn our system to learn cases effectively, without depending on other candidates and without hitting plateaus. Join right now for free on the link above!
Bruno, you are awesome. You’ve done such an incredible job at articulating every single component of building cases, while being SO mindful of what we are all thinking about. You and Julio have been the most resourceful throughout my prep process. Chapeau bas
Thanks Bruno, I'm an engineer who has a interview at MBB - I was having a hard time wrapping business concepts in my mind but your videos are the best resource i have found!
"Might a well just read from Michael Porter's book... and might as well just hire Michael Porter too" haha. That got me laughing. Love Bruno's dry humor in these videos lol
Hi Bruno, I didn't really get a satisfying answer to Q1 in Q&A so I'd want to try rephrasing: I noticed that being more specific is presuming one knows in advance the components or key drivers of the industry. What if we: 1) Don't know about the industry given? 1a) Didn't request the specific information that was key? (Which won't be given by interviewer) Key question: Are you saying the implicit end game is to read-up on every industry as possible to ensure we express business sense by our specificity?
Great work Bruno! I had a question about this. I have faced the following problem a couple of times while giving interviews. In fact, I have received feedback regarding the problem of being too specific and overcomplicating the structure. Now, the problem is how much specific you would want to become? According to you, the more the TTS, the better, but would it not make the structure overly complicated and largely spread, so rather than focussing upon the bigger picture, we might get involved in the nitty-gritty and hence would never arrive at a solution.
I agree with this! I just started learning case studies and quite confused as to how specific I need to be. Should I go with the generic thing or should I stretch the framework to a point that the interviewer has to intervene and stop me
Hi Bruno, thanks for very very helpful video. Could you suggest some reliable sources to improve and enrich various industries knowledge in order to be specific? Thanks a lot
Thanks Bruno, this is great. I have a question, do you need to be very exhaustive for this sort of case or less questions but very insightful are better? Asking because during the interview process you are under pressure and may not be able to come up with all sorts of questions
Hi Bruno, great video! How do you make your insights during the case specific as well? Say when you have a graph or brainstorm - how do you think structured on the fly? Also, I sometimes struggle with coming up with so many specific ideas like you did a fantastic job with the airlines case - any tips on that?
It comes mostly through practice. For the mid-case questions, the trick is to (1) have good structuring SKILLS (not memorized) and (2) always tying back any chart/analysis to the underlying hypothesis that is being tested by it.
Hey Simon, this is the second video you comment on saying things are too difficult, impossible, not easy. If it were easy, it wouldn't be so competitive. It's not easy. But I can show you hundreds of people (even without a business background) who succeeded.
For now we are focusing our time in improving our courses instead of creating more RUclips videos, as that’s what’s gonna help more candidates get more offers. Highly recommend you check out our free course at craftingcases com/freecourse - there’s 3X the content of this channel there and it’s also in a structured format that’s actually gonna help you develop skills.

This is one of the most insightful videos for case interview preparation I have watched.
Glad you liked it!

I liked how you already answered most of my questions at the end of the video! Also, the description with the time of each part was very useful!
Amazing! Are there any questions that I didn't answer? Will be glad to be of help!
No! For now, you could answer all of them! :) thank you !
"Might a well just read from Michael Porter's book... and might as well just hire Michael Porter too" haha. That got me laughing. Love Bruno's dry humor in these videos lol
And "what if my case is actually about the toothbrush industry?" haha
Thank you Bruno! This video was extremely insightful!
I advise you guys to put this video in the free course. It's by far the best tip i received in any case interview material! TTS is the key !
wow... this is a much-needed slap in the face. Thanks!!
You're welcome! Sometimes the most helpful pieces of feedback hurt a bit, but I hope it's worth it.
Hi Bruno,

Exactly my concern too! @CraftingCases would love to hear from you on this!
Bruno, thank you very much! This content is very valuable!
Great work Bruno!

Thank you for composing this video! Will be trying to improve via TTS.
Thanks a lot, very useful and insightful !
Thank you Mr. Bruno!! Anw why you didn't post any video again??
Simple question, but I'd love to compare the results: how many cases have you done so far and what's the TTS of your last structure?
CraftingCases thank for sharing. I have done 60, but not until yesterday I start use tts
20 to 30 cases very thinly spread in time. TTS of 50-70%. But I have reached it after listening to your 5 ways to be MECE and Issue tree video series.
That sounds great Daniyar, 50-70% is better than most people ever get to, even after doing way more cases than you did!
Awesome video, thanks a lot!

Depends on the interviewer, which means you need to be capable to do both
Perfect. Thanks a lot.
Wow ! Welldone

Love from India.Hope i land a job:)
It's impossible for a candidate with a non-business background to have this much business sense
