• "Try to attend the networking events on campus hosted by companies in your interest as many as possible. This will help you demonstrate your passion and create relatable questions to professionals and recruiters at the company."

What was the job hunting process like?

I attended EVERY on-campus event hosted by Deloitte, PwC and EY in September and October, 2018 because I was sure that I'd like to work as a consultant after I graduate from Bentley. Going to all of those events really help me ask smart, customized questions to current employees and learn lots of resources about the positions before I talked to recruiters. Also, I could show my passion and strong interest in this field to my possibly, potential interviewers. After all, I received an offer both from Deloitte and EY, and I chose Deloitte.

Your previous experience for success:

Prior to Bentley, I had two co-op experience as business analytic intern at Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. and Boston Consulting Group. I also had been actively participating in communities since my undergraduate study at Northeastern University to build my leadership skills. I was the founder and advisor of the Northeastern Big Data in Business Club. I believe these relevant internship experience and leadership roles showed my passion in analytics and soft skills to potential employers.

What was the interview process like?

I can talk about my interview processes for Deloitte and EY.

Deloitte had two rounds of interviews: two 30 min in-person interviews with a partner and senior manager, and two 30 min online interviews with a managing director and manager. All questions during the interviews were behavioral.

For EY, it had two rounds of interviews as well. The first round was a video recording with 5 to 6 behavioral interview questions. The second round was in-person interviews on site. It had two 45 min interviews with a senior manager and a partner, and then one 45 min case interview with a senior manager.

All interview questions for both companies were heavily focused on my previous internship experience, community leadership and skills.

Advice to fellow students:

Try to attend the networking events on campus hosted by companies in your interest as many as possible. This will help you demonstrate your passion and create memorable, relatable questions to professionals and recruiters at the company.
