A recruitment expert of Bi Bo Consulting believes that candidates need to convey a positive will in the interview and clarify the real work and life mode of consulting. Consultants do frequent the central business district of big cities. Flying is like taking a taxi. They may only spend tens of thousands of dollars a month. However, behind these are countless jobs that are upside down day and night, even studying every weekend to avoid being eliminated by better talents.
A recruitment expert from Eisenzhe believes that candidates need to show some flexibility in their resumes, because many large-scale consulting projects are likely to evolve from two weeks to several months. Usually, the projects of large consulting companies are basically projects of one year or even several years. As a consultant, it is likely to start several different projects at the same time. How to balance time and energy between projects and how to deal with the schedule and customer requirements requires consultants to have a high degree of flexibility and adaptability to the environment.
Show your project management and industry knowledge.
Project is a common mode of consulting industry. When applying for a position in consulting industry, you need to confirm your project management skills with your potential employer. If you have project management qualifications similar to PMP, it is a powerful weapon to convince your potential employers. Secondly, consulting companies usually rely on their own industry knowledge to solve customers' practical problems. And your relevant industry knowledge, coupled with the ability to solve problems, will help your employer get the contract and carry out the project. Because many times, when customers look for consulting companies, they know that each consultant has many methods and tools to solve problems, but many times, they still want to talk to people in the industry who can understand their industry terms.
Show counseling in your bones
As a consultant, you have to solve other people's crises or difficulties. As a problem solver, you need to convey your passion for solving various problems in the interview and show your systematic and logical methods to solve problems, which is a practical problem that many consulting industry interviews will face. In the consulting industry, many recruitment experts actually hope to find talents with both industry knowledge and professional soft skills, which is often the key factor to get an offer, not just an MBA degree from a top university.
