Tell me about a time that you have helped a co-worker accomplish an important goal.
Huron Consulting Group regularly works with large clients that cover more than one area of consulting expertise. That means you'll need to be an excellent collaborator if you want the job. Think about what you have done outside of your tasks and goals to ensure that everyone on your team is successful. Assure the interviewer that you are always willing to do what is needed to ensure success for your teams, your clients, and Huron Consulting Groups as a whole by walking them through a story that shows you're an excellent teammate and/or servant leader.
"Last quarter we hired someone who ended up struggling significantly with sales. I sat him down and realized that he simply didn't understand the product. We spent a few hours together over that next week learning the product. In the end, his sales increased by 64% and he was significantly more confident. It helped the team morale as well."
"I am a principal consultant at my current firm and I specialize in HCM solutions. I was working on an acquisition project that required us to bring a company that was using PeopleSoft over to their new parent company's Workday software. One of the data conversion leads was struggling with some of the scripting necessary to transform the data into a Workday-friendly format, and the project deadline was at risk.
I could tell my co-worker was stressed and I offered to help. It required a few late nights and weekends, but I worked with him to make sure the project was delivered on time. We developed a strong collaboration strategy, and I took on the research and communication tasks that were the best fit for my skills.
In addition to delivering a successful project, I learned a lot of technical details that helped to expand my toolkit. You can expect I would approach any collaboration or service opportunities with the same humility and willingness to help if hired for the open role here at Huron Consulting Group."
