To succeed as a consultant at DHLC you should bring already some core skills:
Analytical thinking, structured working mode, being a team player, fluent in English and some practical experiences (as in internships and international experience).
These are the characteristics our HR team is looking for in your CV and during our assessment center.
If you are working for DHLC you can expect a steep learning curve and plenty of opportunities to grow. If you keep up with this you will not have a hard time to make a career at DHLC.
In addition to the hard skills mentioned by Max, I believe we also value soft skills at DHL Consulting. We would like our consultants to be curious and open-minded. We encourage them to take responsibility and be proactive in building our community and culture together. I believe it is what makes us different.
Interview with Gina Dahmann, Senior Consultant at DHL Consulting
What skills do you need to be a Senior Consultant?You need good analytical skills so you can get to grips with a problem quickly and hone in on the solution. And you need the ability to explain ideas to the client in an easy and understandable way, so good communication is essential, too. How does DHL Consulting empower its women?By giving us the feeling that we are all valued — not because we’re women, but because we’re doing a good job. I also like its transparency around equal salary, and I’ve never had the feeling that male colleagues are more highly regarded or have better career opportunities than female colleagues. Plus I think it’s great that our CEO, Sabine Mueller, is an excellent role model and an example of female empowerment. The fact that we have a female leader makes me proud to be part of the DHLC team. What's the best thing about working at DHLC?I really like being surrounded by inspirational people. There’s a really cool crowd here and I’ve been learning a lot from them. DHLC also makes a big effort to be truly international with team members from across the world. That’s what makes us really unique as an organization. Do clients expect to see diversity in the DHLC teams?I think clients expect us to always be open-minded and to constantly generate great new problem-solving ideas. The best way to do that is by having a diverse crowd who all have different opinions. There’s no point in everyone thinking the same because it’s not the way to come up with innovative solutions. Also, as a team member, it’s really useful to have people with a range of different skills, views and experiences within the company, because then there’s always someone you can turn to for help and advice on any subject.
