It is important to realize that the culture of Huron Consulting Group is a key selling point for their consulting services and they expect their employees to actively demonstrate their values while working with their internal teams, with their clients, and with the world at large. In preparation for your interview, go beyond simply memorizing Huron Consulting Group's values (collaboration, excellence, humility, impact, inclusion, integrity, and intellectual curiosity) and take the time to learn how they have leaned on those values to become a top consulting firm. Finally, think about ways you have shown excellence in similar ways and be prepared to briefly share a story that proves you are a strong cultural fit.

"I have always spent time volunteering with local organizations. This includes the animal shelter, the children's hospital, and our local food bank. I believe that no matter how busy we are we always have time to give back. I have researched the efforts that Huron Consulting Group invests in this area. Your values and interest in your global impact are impressive. It's one of the reasons I am so attracted to your organization."

"The fact that Huron Consulting Group puts so much focus on your local and global impact is part of the reason why I applied here. I follow your organization on social media and have seen pictures of the great work you are able to do. I am excited for the opportunity to be on board with this!"

"As a consultant, I know that I am expected to live by the values of the company I am working for. As such, I thoroughly researched Huron Consulting Group's values and cultures before applying for this job. I resonate with all of the main seven values, but specifically, I was impressed to see such a strong focus on humility. In my experience, this is not always a focus area for consultants, and a lack of humility when working with clients, coworkers, or the community can have a lasting impact on the reputation of an organization.

From what I can tell, the employees of Huron Consulting Group understand the importance of listening and learning and how to balance it with excellence in their particular areas of expertise. They collaborate with their teams, other departments, and their clients. They take an inclusive approach and I feel all of that is rooted in a commitment to humility. I use a similar approach in my personal and professional lives and I would love the opportunity to work for a company with values I align with so strongly."
