Preparing for an HR Consultant Interview: How Can I Stand Out and Succeed?

Hello,

I am Sushmita. I have completed M.A. in Psychology and am currently pursuing M.B.A. (HR). I have been working with a management consultancy for the past 2 months. I have an interview scheduled with A.F. Ferguson & Company on 5th March 06 for the position of HR consultant. I am eager to perform well in the interview and secure a position in this organization. Please assist me in preparing for the interview. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Sushmita.

1. Be prepared with the details and theory of all the consultancy work you have done.

2. Go to their website and check out what they provide consultancy on, and be prepared with detailed theories on those topics. For example, if they specialize in HR audits, ensure you are well-versed in the theories and methodologies related to that area.

3. Analysis

Hey Sushmita,

First of all, all the best :)

Another member, Neha, had posted this document about the most frequently asked interview questions. I am providing the link in case you missed the article. [Link no longer exists - removed]

Just be yourself and remember, they should like you for what you are.

There are 3 things an employer looks for in a prospective candidate:
1) Candidate's interest in the field
2) Relevant knowledge about the chosen field
3) Candidate fitting in the organization culture

If we are clear about these three, we are bound to succeed and find a job that is both a learning and enjoyable experience.

All the best, once again.

Cheers
