Hi Anonymous,
I totally agree with Odeh, in your answer the “people” part is definitely not present. You should add elements that show your people interaction (ideally leadership), in particular given the fact that as a startup founder you probably had too coordinate people, have meeting, align their goals, etc.
An additional point missing is the concept of project. Consultants are used to think in terms of projects defined with a certain allocation of people, clear timeframe and defined deliverables at the end. Some further elements you should mention for your organizational skills to show alignment with the consulting world are thus the following:
- Define goals, deadlines, kick-off, end of projects, deliverables from the beginning
- Understand optimal allocation of people for the activities
- Keep control points for both yourself and people you manage to check if results are met at regular intervals
- Keep communication in place with key stakeholder (bossed, employees, subordinates, clients, investors etc)
- Identify backups in advance in case of delays/unforeseen requirements needed
- Understand reasons for missed deliverables and fix issues so that they do not reappear
Hope this helps,
Francesco
