LEK is the only company that asks for a copy of your transcript when applying — that was over 3 years ago 🤦‍♂️

Like you graduated 3 years ago?

That’s not that long ago...I got asked for my undergraduate GPA when applying to BCG at age 28 even though I had a masters degree and 5 years of work experience. (And it wasn’t just because it was on the default form; the recruiter was super rude to me about it and had such an arrogant and off putting attitude that I almost dropped out of the application process.)

Not saying it’s right, but that’s consulting recruiting for you...

What’s the difference though? Are they actually going to go through it line by line and question you about each grade? Usually companies that ask for transcripts are just looking to verify your GPA, in my experience.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate.

It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
