Hello everyone,
I regularly see job openings for Inverto and I am wondering about my real chances of joining the firm with my background.
My profile in brief:
- I do not come from a traditional consulting background.
- I have 4 years of industry experience in a major FMCG company as SCM, followed by various roles in Customer service, Sales and Marketing.
- International backrgound I have lived in different countries and speak 3 languages fluently.
- I graduated with my Master's degree 10 years ago.
What makes me hesitate Inverto explicitly asks for university transcripts. My university was not "prestigious" and my grades aren't through the roof (even though I was ranked in the top 10 of my class). After 10 years in the workforce, I worry this academic criterion might penalize me or automatically filter my application out.
My questions for the coaches or anyone familiar with the firm:
- Do you think my hands-on FMCG experience and international profile can compensate for "average" academic records after 10 years of professional life? Are grades still a dealbreaker for experienced profiles?
- The application form also asks for expected salary. Is this standard practice for them right at the application stage, and what is the best way to handle this without closing any doors?
I really want to avoid submitting a weak application and getting dismissed. What do you advise?
Thank you for your help!
