Preparing for the behavioral portion of an interview. Any resources you’ve previously used to craft good answers (outside of the star method)? I’m terrible at selling myself! Would love any insights 😅

The key to a behavioral interview is to be yourself and hopefully exhibit the various qualities the interviewer is trying to identify by providing details of your accomplishments

If you have time (i.e. if your interview is not tomorrow) I would seriously recommend talking to a career consultant - I had one and it massively improved my ability to prepare for/answer behavioural questions

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

What is the average amount of time to fill a role? How long in advance should a recruiter start working with a hiring manager to get their position posted? I think it depends on the industry but curious to hear if there is a national average and if that number is even realistic given the increased number of roles in the market. Also curious to know what average numbers some of you are seeing in your companies.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it.

Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!
