Anfini Co., Ltd, based in Minato City, Tokyo, is hosting a Group Discussion (GD) practice session tailored for second-year university students aspiring to enter the consulting industry. The event is set to take place on March 23, 2025, from 18:00 to 19:00 and will be conducted online via Zoom.
The GD practice is essential for mastering logical thinking and argument construction—skills deemed critical by hiring firms in the consulting field. Through this interactive program, participants will be exposed to a foundational lecture, engage in a mock GD, and receive professional feedback designed to enhance their readiness.
The first segment of the program will consist of a 10-minute lecture aimed at introducing participants to GD fundamentals. Key topics will include the purpose and evaluation criteria of GDs, their significance in the consulting industry, various topic types, and effective discussion strategies. Subsequently, participants will participate in a practical GD session lasting 20 minutes, where they can apply their skills in a group setting, simulating a real-world scenario.
In the final 10-minute segment, a review and question-and-answer period will allow attendees to reflect on common pitfalls in GDs and strategies to overcome them. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to ask specific questions to further refine their approach.
With participation free of charge, the event is specifically aimed at second-year students who are just beginning their job searches. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals lacking prior GD experience to strengthen their skills ahead of potential interviews in the consulting sector.
The session is particularly geared toward students who have begun thinking about the consulting industry's selection processes or those feeling anxious about GDs. It offers a fast track to developing the analytical and discussion skills demanded during actual recruitment.
