Q & A Interview in IT Consulting Companies Part (2)
As you prepare for your interviews, take a good, hard look at your resume. Consider the points you’d most like to convey, then make sure you’re armed with two or three talking points about each item. If there’s something particularly unusual on your resume (you ran the New York City Marathon, you went to medical school before you completed your computer science degree), be sure to practice your spiel.
Once you know how you’ll discuss each bullet point, take your preparation one step further: Think ahead about how each bullet point on your resume can be turned into a compelling, but short, story that demonstrates your aptitude for consulting.
Behavioral Questions
Though firms vary in the degree to which they rely on the case interview, almost every consulting interview will involve some variation on the behavioral interview. In behavioral interviews, candidates are asked to cite experiences—professional, academic, and personal—in which they’ve demonstrated specific attributes.
Examples of behavioral questions include, “Tell me about a time you made a mistake,” “Tell me about a time when you had to solve a problem,” or “Tell me about a time when you found yourself wandering naked through the mountains of Tibet carrying only matches, a compass, and a bar of chocolate. How did you react?”
