Here are what not to dos (2/5)
When you are presenting your background, don’t fall victim to under or over qualification. Just give them what they need. There is a very thin line between being an over-achiever and being over-qualified.

First Approach...
For the first approach, all you have to do is prepare a 2-minute pitch; talking about your current role, then past experience, and tie it with your future ambitions while making sure you give them what they are looking for. Simple. Something similar to below – this is what I would say if I were interviewing today;
First Approach… (example)
I’ve been working as a manager with PwC Consulting for the past 5 years. During this time, I’ve been providing incredible value to my clients through strategies we developed and implemented for them. These are typically projects lasted anywhere from a week to 6 months. Looking back it now, I must have done a great job as engagement manager that our clients particularly requested for me whenever they came back for new work packages. Prior to PwC, I was with 2 other consulting companies. And finally, or I should say firstly in this case I guess, I started my career with S&P as an analyst. I was with S&P until 2008 which is when I was laid off – I guess some would find this ironic… In addition to this, I have an MBA degree from Cass Business School of City University London and I hold various professional certifications including; PMP, PMI-RMP, and CMA. Now I’m looking forward to taking my career to the next level with [the company name] and continue to add more value to my clients under [the company]’s umbrella.
I think above speech would be good
enough but not necessarily something
you would collect so many points. It
would be like ticking the box. Now, let’s
look at the 2nd approach
“
Second Approach...
In my line of profession, in management consulting, we always present with supporting tools, for example; a PowerPoint presentation, videos, charts, interviews with experts, the list is long. So, when I get interviewed by clients I always have at least a PowerPoint presentation made up of only 3-4 pages which allow me to clearly highlight what my relevant experience is, which methodologies we used, and how the results were.
“so I suggest you do
the same… Deniz Sasal
