Accenture folks I applied for a Business Strategy Manager role at Accenture Toronto. I received an email from a recruiter asking to meet for a 30 min chat. Any tips on how I can make a strong impression?

For eg. at Deloitte if you show skills like ex-athlete, active in social service, etc. they take it positively. Any advice is helpful! 😊

They care more about your business acumen than extra-curriculars. What to show expertise in will depend on the practice. Managers are deployed already. Culture fit, leadership potential, ability to deliver work, and readiness for SM in 3yrs matter.

Thanks A2

Sounds about right that Deloitte would care more about who you were in college than as a grown ass person.

Sure. Talk about the strategy work you’ve run and led :)

Thanks A5

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
