While researching the company, keep an eye out for any taglines or phrases where you can identify the traits McKinsey celebrates in their consultants. "A trusted advisor or hands-on coach. Problem solvers and creative thinkers. Engineers and new business builders." These are but a few. Keep digging until you find those traits which best describe you or align with your approach to your work. The qualities you identify in yourself, which you are most proud of, should be conveyed with pride and sincerity.
