My company uses titles that are much flatter than most firms. My official title sounds fairly junior, but I manage major clients and lead people with more impressive titles elsewhere. I worry recruiters will underestimate my level before reading the bullets.
I'm recruiting after several years in industry and my fit answers are solid but not super polished. I keep hearing that experienced hires are expected to sound more senior. Is the fit bar actually higher, or is it mostly the same criteria?
Mayank G.CoachExperienced hires are often expected to communicate with more maturity because they have more professional experience, but the core fit criteria are still similar: leadership, teamwork, impact, motivation, and self-awareness.
I have worked in the same industry as a few cases I am practicing. Sometimes I know things that are not stated in the prompt, and I am not sure whether using that knowledge makes me look experienced or like I am making assumptions. How should experienced hires handle this?
Mayank G.CoachUse your industry knowledge as context, not as hidden case data. Make your reasoning clear and separate what the case gives you from what you know from experience.
My current title sounds pretty senior, but the consulting role I'm applying for is still an experienced-hire individual contributor level. How do I explain the move without making it sound like I'm stepping backward or expecting special treatment?
Mayank G.CoachFrame the move around the type of work and development you want, not around title equivalence. Senior industry titles do not map cleanly to consulting levels.
