Hey how’s this about me

I graduate from X college finishing with honors in Summa Cum Laude majoring in XYZ. Originally I thought my goal was to become an accountant. After my internship at Deloitte I realized that I was more interested in the client side of the internship instead of the accounting aspect. So when I went back to X University I was selected to be a project manager to help resolve a logistics problem at company y. After that experience it sparked my interest in supply chain and project management. Which lead me to Unilever where I was able to identify inefficiencies in the supply chain, create tactical projects to resolve those problems, and spent the last year getting my certifications in Lean Six Sigma and Project management because I am passionate with working with various individuals to help them resolve their supply chain issues.

You should add somehow that you like working and interacting with people. Think of how your answer can flow smoothly into why bcg? Just accepted an offer with bcg. Happy to help think through. DM me if you want.

@how did your interview go OP ?
And @pwc1, what role and office did you accept the position for ?
