Do you say you're a "consultant" in your resume? A lot of firms (Deloitte, Protiviti, etc) officially call RA jobs as such, but it feels incredibly lame/misleading to call myself that during a job search when I know we're really just a different kind of auditor...

I agree that if IT audit is all you do than it’s a big stretch, however if that’s how the Firm brands it 🤷🏻‍♂️ on the other hand I think it’s a fair title if you’re in business processes or systems implementation, fair enough the essence of it is controls but it doesn’t detract from the consultative nature of the job

I say I'm a Consultant to my clients to align myself with firm branding, but I tell everyone I'm an IT auditor to anyone else lol.

Thread: I’ve been talking to this company for months and the recruiter has been in and out with communication. A few weeks ago, he reached out, apologized for the delay and explained they needed to figure out role priorities but that they’re moving forward, I’m a top candidate, & they wanted to wrap up interviews and extend an offer the following week. He never reached out to set up interviews and hasn’t replied to any of my calls or emails.
