I’m sorry to hear that. Was it a partner interview ie more conversational and fit-based?

See the issue with interviewing consultants is we need to have a lens of ‘where can I place this person’? Without a specialism I’m not sure ‘good business sense’ is enough. You need to make it easy for the hiring partner to see pound signs on how you could deliver revenue

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.
