Being successful in consulting and working here at AlphaSights Ltd requires the ability to work effectively with Type A personalities. What experience do you have working with this personality, and how did you make the relationships a success?

"For the last six years, I have worked under a prototypical type A personality as my director. As a type B, being under my new director was difficult at first. To be successful under her and for our relationship to flourish, I learned that she liked me to communicate timelines for projects and give updates when necessary, as she was very time-driven. Small talk and getting to know me wasn't a priority, so our communications to this day are succinct and to the point. In this role, I would feel very comfortable working with high-level type A's because of my firsthand experience."

"If you haven't been able to tell during my interview so far, I am a type-A personality. My personality has helped me become very successful as a Financial Analyst. Having had formal training in the distinct personality types, I know I need to take a meticulous approach when working with other type-A personalities. My current team is loaded with type A's, and regular communication is key in ensuring that expectations are clear and timelines are being met. If hired for this position, I would know my place in working with leaders from clients, and I can be both cognizant of my approach and put my desire to be in the lead aside when needed."
