Case Study Question:

A case study tests you in all manner of ways so it's one of the best - and fairest - methods of seeing a candidate 'in action'. The open-ended nature of these questions is not designed to torture the candidate, although it might feel that way to the uninitiated. At interview or at an assessment centre, individuals or a small group of candidates are presented with a business problem and then given time to evaluate the information and brainstorm a solution.
