Industry: IT Development & Consulting Department: Service Delivery (Consulting) Job Title: Junior Consultant

What are the best and worst things about your job?

I get to do more than client work - I've been working on the social committee, recruitment team, office move team, and most recently I've been making marketing material for the company! For me, since I have a business degree, I love the variety and didn't expect to use my degree as much as I have been. :) The people are also lovely, my manager is really nice and fun to be around, and my project manager for client work is a great mentor and teacher. Because Capacitas is a small company, I've gotten to speak to everybody, and I love being able to talk to the leadership team in a casual way - for example, me and the CEO were taking things apart together for the office move and just having a normal chat while doing so! Not every company can say that about their CEO. :)

Interview Advice:

Don't give up even when the questions are hard - remember that they are trying to see HOW your answer, not necessarily WHAT you answer. You will be asked questions about what the company does and slightly more technical questions about what that means, so be sure to do additional research on that!
