May 2026 - Anthony Mukoro - Digital Consultant

Working with James made a real difference to my consulting interview preparation. I needed to sharpen how I communicated my experience and think through cases more strategically. The mock-interview helped me refine my story, strengthen my motivations, and approach questions with greater confidence, structure and commercial focus. James was realistic, challenging, and followed-up with clear, actionable feedback that I could immediately apply. I’m delighted to have secured a role with Accenture, and I would highly recommend James to anyone preparing for consulting interviews.

‘Hi James,

Hope you’re well. I wanted to drop you a quick message to share that I’ve received an offer from McKinsey after a successful interview process.

Also just wanted to say a big thank you for all the case sessions. I started quite late and pretty much only worked with you, so I really appreciate all the feedback. I was taking notes throughout and definitely felt stronger as I progressed - started off a bit rough, but found my stride by the final rounds.

Thanks again for all your help!’
