Being successful in the consulting industry requires adaptability and the ability to learn a business fast. What would be your approach to help you learn the ins and outs of a new client?

"As you can see from my resume, I've been in corporate training and education for over ten years. In my current role, I have to use similar techniques, working with different departments to tailor programs to meet their specific needs. I feel that my current approach to hosting an intake meeting with leaders would be effective in a consulting role with external customers. The current intake meetings that I lead are an opportunity to ask questions and learn as much as I can about my customers. It is an opportunity to lay the groundwork for the project and set expectations. Do you see this as an effective approach for this role?"

"Having worked in quality roles most of my career in both the private and public sectors, I think my career experiences have shaped me well for this role. The biggest transition will be the need to work in many industries. Researching clients, their businesses, and their industries will be the first step in my approach to learning about them. I want to make a great first impression when I am face to face with a new client, and that first impression starts with my knowledge. Then, my openness and ability to communicate would take over. I know the right questions to ask for laying out quality initiative projects, and I know the right things to educate clients on."
