My job title sounds more senior than my actual scope. How do I explain that in consulting recruiting?

I'm at a smaller company where titles are inflated. My title is Director, but I don't manage a big team and I'm probably applying at the consultant level. How do I avoid looking either overqualified or misleading?

Recruiter said my final level could change based on interviews. Should I prepare differently?

Experienced Hire

I'm interviewing as an experienced hire and the recruiter said the firm may decide my exact level after the interviews. Does that mean I should prepare differently or try to prove I'm ready for the higher title?

If a case is in my industry specialty, should I use outside knowledge or only the information given?

Experienced Hire

I'm an experienced hire and some practice cases overlap directly with my industry. I'm never sure whether using real-world knowledge makes me look stronger or whether I should stay strictly inside the case facts. What's the better approach?
