Great answer. I will add that you want the interviewer to “like” you. Because they would potentially be working with you in a conference room for 1+ months. Try to smile when appropriate and bring an overall positive energy, whatever that means to you. Just make sure it doesn’t come across too forced.

McKinsey & Company Anyone who’s a consultant in San Diego working at Accenture Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group McKinsey & Company Deloitte KPMG PwC EY is available to chat with me about career in management consulting? I’m in my senior year and is interested in consulting :)

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

First American Financial Corporation I have attended two rounds of interview in First American Finan Company last week and have received an email that I have been selected in their interview process. The talent acquisition team did not send me an offer letter instead have sent me a BGC form which I submitted yesterday. I found it very strange as usually first offer letter is rolled out and then BGC check happens if the candidate accepts the offer. Today there was no communication. Can anyone tell me if they faced this situation?TIA
