Resources
Here we have a number of preparation materials and other resources you can use during your job search.
In addition to the resources here, we strongly recommend that you use the WetFeet and Vault materials

read in a dozen years, and you have only a day for your research. That's where we come in... here you
can find quick recommendations on what to read and what to avoid. We also have a
HCC Yahoo Group
where we share interview tips and set up case interview practice sessions.
