What’s the most effort you’ve put into an interview? Beyond research, have you prepared any demonstrations, videos, projects, etc for a better chance?

I usually just do my homework to know who I'm meeting with. Spend maybe a half hour the night before/morning of. Personally, I don't think any of us should be normalizing or creating any more hoops to jump through to get a job. Think we should respect ourselves and each other a little more than that, but that's just my two cents.

Presentations - but they are required for tech interviews (plus submitting a test of some sort).

When my partner and I were juniors looking for a job, an ECD said he loved our folio but wasn’t convinced we could do day-to-day retail ideas that would be required along with the big brand campaigns. So we made him an ad with a two-for-one offer on ourselves - two weeks freelance for the price of one. He hired us full time immediately (but paid in full).

As a junior, I showed a CD an idea for one of his clients. It worked.

Tech presos, multiple rounds of interviews, client chemistry meetings, the whole bit. Too damn much, frankly.

Minimal. Anything that smells like free work is an immediate no from meeee 🎶

Whatever you do.. DONT do tests for free.

I would also be opposed to paid tests. It lowers your rate.

Hello,
Any HR from Accenture who can consider my profile for Qliksense developer (6years experience). I have been trying for this company for more than 2 years now but not even a single interview was scheduled. Worse part is if the profile is already in the system, it doesnot consider it for other jobs. I can see a lot of postings in job site but cannot apply in those.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Asking for advice- I’ve realized consulting is not the path for me long term and have had plans to quit. I’m currently staffed on a project alone and feel lost as I don’t have much experience in this line of work. Deadline is approaching and I have voiced my concerns to finish in time. Manager is still reviewing my work and the turnaround time to make revisions and finish phase 2 work seems unlikely within a few days. Is it unreasonable to ask for another resource to help finish?
