how to become a successful consultant at one of the largest and most respected consulting companies in the world.

What type of skills does Accenture look for in candidates?

What is his day-to-day life like as a consultant?

Does Accenture hire entry-level candidates for these positions?

What is the training like for new employees?

What is the promotion potential like for Accenture employees?

and finally the low down on the travel schedule of a consultant.

As a job seeker are you going to blend into the crowd or are you going to be remarkable? I have created this podcast because I think it will give you a good illustration on how to be remarkable and memorable as a job seeker with the help of a “Three-Pack-A-Day-Rooster.”Let’s face it; everyone has a resume, a cover letter, a nice suit, and gel for their hair. Everyone is applying for jobs on Monster, Career Builder, Dice, and every other online job board. So the question remains how can you stand out from your competition to get noticed by the company you want to work at?

Here is the list of things you can “be” in order to stand out from the crowd as a job seeker just like this rooster you are about to learn about stood out from his crowd of other roosters and became remarkable.

BE…

1. Remarkable
2. Consistent
3. Ethical
4. Friendly
5. A good communicator
6. Innovative
7. Bold
8. Risky
9. Real
10. Able to fail
11. Able to get up
12. Loud
13. Kind
14. An expert in your chosen field
15. Yourself

A few months ago I interviewed Jeff Yalden a prominent professional speaker in the youth market. Jeff and I talked extensively about his start in professional speaking, how he markets his business, his recent MTV gig, and much more.
