Interview Prep
These programs do not publish their interview scripts, so this is the shape a residencies & placements program hires on, what it is really weighing, and how to arrive ready.
The Typical Arc
- A rolling, relationship-driven introduction rather than a fixed cycle.
- A sourcing conversation: what you would buy, and how you would find it.
- A working session with the firm's small team.
- A match to a live acquisition or a committed-capital search.
What It Is Assessing
- Sourcing ability and a real point of view on where to hunt.
- Operator readiness for a specific kind of business.
- Whether you fit a small, hands-on team without a large structure around you.
How to Prepare
- Arrive with a sourcing thesis, not a blank slate. Search Thesis Builder
- Show you can run a business, with evidence on one page. Buyer Profile Builder
