Hi Applied to PwC Strategy& for a consultant role and havent heard back from a recuiter however, I received an email for a survey asking what am I looking for in the company in terms of their culture, values etc and what other companies I have applied to. Is this a typical process? Not sure if thats the step 1 in the process or I have been rejected. Any feed back is appreciated. I am graduating from Ohio State with an MBA and have 8 years of experience in corporate accounting and finance.

It might appear that way based on past experiences, but this opportunity excites me.
Yes looking at the number of years I have worked in the mining industry,the skill and the experience I have gained in operating wheel Loader for 9 years I can be over qualified.
When preparing for every interview I write a little career story for myself that has the company and the role as a main character. Sometimes it's fiction and sometimes there are elements of non-fiction, you know? So you're looking to gain x skill for y reason, and this job description appealed to you because of its emphasis on that skill. At this point in your life you are looking for a z company that does blah blah blah just like Thiscompany. The story is multi-purpose, and I can tell it a bit differently in response to any flavour of 'why would you want this job'.
I would avoid saying that you're looking for something less stressful. That sounds like you're hoping to coast and not put forth much effort. I'd keep it focused on why the job or the company are attractive to the personal/career growth you envision for yourself.
I really love that idea omg thank you
I am looking to make a meaningful change.
I would talk about the company culture and any of its community outreach being of interest to me.
I am overqualified. How lucky for all of you that you get all my experience and my desire to be here. I'm ready to go on day 1.
what kind of questions will be asked for prescreening job for senior staff accountant
I suggest making a separate thread. You won't be seen otherwise!
I would say I’m looking for a new experience
I get it, for sure. One thing I try to always keep i
Tnmind when looking at applications is that we most definitely were not the only place the candidate applied for. And if they do get a better offer
I can see why you might think that, and I take it as a compliment. I’ve built a lot of skills in my career, and what excites me about this role is the chance to apply those skills in a hands-on way where I can make a real impact. I’m looking for a position where I can contribute right away, keep learning, and grow with the team. The scope of this job aligns with what I’m most passionate about right now, and I believe that combination of experience and enthusiasm would let me deliver strong results for you.
I am very interested. Just to also let you know I do have my TABC and Food Service license.
The interviewer is just being polite. You don't suit their needs, profile or whatever other criteria. Don't bow your head. Self respect is also tested in interviews.
I think being part of this organization has lots to teach me and my past experience may seem like I am over qualified but I can assure you otherwise.

I wouldn't say I'm overqualified, Im the right cannidate for the position. I enjoy doing the work i do best and employer would likely hire cannidated who confidence in thier own work
"I appreciate the transparency regarding the base pay. I genuinely enjoy a challenge, and I look forward to using this opportunity to exceed all expectations. I am committed to demonstrating a strong work ethic and quickly proving my value to the team, with the goal of advancing to a higher position in a very short timeframe."

Being labeled "overqualified" is definitely a growing issue these days. While companies are crying out that they don't have enough qualified available to emply for their open positions; a lot of companies are asking for a minimum of Batchelor degrees for positions that shouldn't require them. Personally, I would be bluntly honest. If you don't want to be a statistical number caught up in the system ( on some sort govt. assistance), you have to have a job and work hard to succeed in this country. Bottom line, 'having a job is better than having no job at all', while on your way to getting what you really want. At the same time, the skills that you have gained could be of great use in a lesser position or a different field altogether. I would point out the advantages to hiring a more than qualified person versus a person who is not. How often have companies hired a person with minimal or no background for the job, taken the time and money to train them, only to have them not work out for the position? Rinse & repeat for HR until they hopefully find the right candidate. Overqualified translates to competent staff and a better success rate for the company overall. The 🍒 on top is less headache for managing the more than qualified staff members.
Depends why/how you are overqualified. I have hired 3 (all awesome] overqualified people in my time and asked them all some version of this question first, I'm really just trying to find out a) will you be constantly frustrated and annoyed by the work and b) will you be out the door quickly because you never stopped looking for something better.
Good reasons people have given me that have allayed my concerns: "I'm semi-retiring, want work as an individual contributor without the stresses of managing a big team"
"I am pivoting my career and understand that means starting over at entry level"
"TBH after many years as a freelancer I'm mostly looking for stability with a large employer and collegial relationships, I'm tired of working alone"
This might not work for every interviewer, but it would not hurt you with me to say: "Sure, if you had a more senior role I'd be delighted to apply for it, but what's more important to me than the title is [whatever you like about this company or job.] I'm happy to do the work that's needed now and we can always explore internal growth opportunities in the future if apt."
Yes, I do possess strong skills coupled with amazing clarification. however, i believe that learning and broadening one's experience is a part of the human experience. I am a lifelong learning, and this position would allow me to learn new skill giving my toolbox variety making me a more diverse employee and human being.
same thing happened to me for a moving company. nobody wants to do moving sales, why do you . lol
