Try to display
1) quantifiable (where possible) outcomes over processes
2) proactive behaviour rather than purely passive (e.g., stepped up to support external team despite heavy workload, engaged in extra curricular, participated in office life, volunteering, anything)
3) top performance of some sort, whether that’d be through a measured metric at work or a non measured one (e.g., only Associate managing a project, or promoted to next level 6 months early, etc.)

Oh and if you don’t happen to be able to do 3) within a work context, academia or extra curriculars are fine too (e.g., regional chess champion, or something). Basically show you do more in life than just show up.

Recruiters: How to articulate that I am capable of Sourcing for Technical roles coming from a healthcare background (3yrs)? Sourcing is a transferable skill. It takes passion, curiosity, and the ability to research to hunt for the right person for the role. I believe it can be done in any industry. However, it seems like companies would take a novice over someone with a different industry experience (after viewing several LI profiles) and I don't want to be boxed into my current industry.

Hi there -
I applied to an experienced consultant position at Bain and just heard back. Yesterday, I received an invite to a HireVue one-way interview to complete.

Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

Does Boston Consulting have an M&A and Private Equity Practice? Based on company webpage this is not quite clear…perhaps it is not a main focus as it is with, perhaps, Bain? Or the competencies are integrated within the practices of BCG?
