Hi everyone, I have an initial interviewing coming with an IM consulting firm for an associate position on Tuesday.. I’m really interested in the position but I feel like I’m not so qualified.. (YOE etc..) any tips for overcoming this? I know if i got the job I’ll do well once I learned tho! What’re the tricks you used to convince interviewers that you can do the job albeit the “mismatch” on experience? Thank you so much!
