I have a bachelor’s degree in Architecture, but later decided to pursue a second bachelor’s in Economics. For an upcoming consulting interview, I was told that interviewers will not see my CV beforehand.
My architecture degree is not currently on my CV, as I have focused it on my more recent economics studies and extracurriculars. I also do not have internship experience yet, which makes me slightly concerned that mentioning the architecture degree could raise questions about my non-linear path or make me seem unfocused.
When asked “tell me about yourself,” would you recommend briefly mentioning the architecture background and framing the transition into economics/consulting, or focusing only on my current economics profile? I would appreciate advice on how to present this in a clear and positive way.
