Marketing oneself can be a balancing act between sounding humble or coming off as an arrogant braggart. Before speaking to your merits and outlining your accomplishments in detail, it's crucial to research and find commonalities between your ideals and the core values of Deloitte and underline them in your answer. Once you've done your due diligence in this regard, you'll better be able to detail how what you've learned from those experiences has prepared you for this opportunity with Deloitte.

When it comes to their core values and culture, you want to come across as already having a head start. You want to convey your like-mindedness and that it will take no time during your onboarding to get up to speed. You want to convey in principle that you are already one of them. Take a look at these excerpts from their mission statements and core values;
