I have a recruiter screen coming up and I am not fully decided on office preference yet. If the recruiter asks me to pick an office on the call, how should I answer without sounding unprepared or randomly choosing one?
I am interviewing for consulting, but I am also considering a couple of strategy roles in industry. If a recruiter asks whether consulting is my first-choice career, how direct should I be about the other options?
Mayank G.CoachYou do not need to pretend that no other career exists. The recruiter is usually testing whether your interest in consulting is thoughtful and strong enough to justify the process.
I have an initial recruiter screen and I am in processes with a few other firms. I do not want to sound evasive, but I also do not want to overshare. What is the best way to answer if they ask where else I am interviewing?
Mayank G.CoachAnswer honestly at the level of detail that is useful. You can say you are in a few active consulting processes and mention timing without listing every firm unless you want to.
I know people debate thank-you notes after interviews, but what about a recruiter screen? Is a short follow-up useful, or does it just add another email to their inbox?
Mayank G.CoachA brief thank-you note after a recruiter screen is optional, not a requirement.
