The Essential 3 Don’t Start Your (Consulting) Career Without Considering 3 Key Areas

First impressions matter.

At a time where apps like Tinder flourish, few would argue that appearance is

unimportant at first sight.

Thus, before you actually start in your job, you should lay the foundation

for a successful career.

Most people get it wrong…

Most new joiners could get much more out of their experience in consulting.

What got them into the job is actually quite close to what will also get them ahead.

When applying, most people invest an enormous amount of time preparing for job interviews, assessment centers, brainteasers, etc. Landing the job usually takes time, but practice does eventually make perfect.

Once the contract has been signed, however, most people go on autopilot.

Celebrating your first steps in your dream industry is great.

But starting your job unprepared is not.

Has that driven home the importance of systematically preparing for your own Day 1 yet?

#1 Improve Personal Aspects

Online Presence Appearance Personal Pitch

#2 Research External Aspects

Logistics New Colleagues’ Background

Company Propositions

#3 Close Knowledge Gaps
