What would be a reason not to hire you?


This is a hidden "weakness" question. Find a weakness that isn't really one, and also explain why it isn't even really an issue anymore.
Additionally, you can pick something that is a weakness elsewhere, but not at weakness at consulting firms. E.G. "I question/challenge common beliefs/assumptions. This wasn't viewed positively at my old firm"


I think the reason not to hire me is becuase I do not have a traditional finance background, and that means the initial learning curve may be steeper than for others. However, I have demonstarted time and time again that I am able to learn quickly and absorb complex information. Thus, although in the beginning I may be behind my peers in some areas, I catch up quickly and bring experiance from my M&A work which will support my learning.

Recently I pushed my boss for inclusion of my idea in th product coceptualization for the competition. I did intensive research to provve that my idea can be winner.
There is no any any reason because I think I am confident, Hard working and i have consistency in my work i can work in pressure also

I am best fit for the role because of my experience working in this field for more than 10 years. I have gained consulting traits over the period and that fits me best in this role.

I am an overachiever and i sometimes tend not to be satisfied with my current circumstances . Therefore in search of satisfaction, i may be too demanding.

I probably end up doubting myself, and not backing myself more often than I should. Once I'm comfortable I've mastered something, I have the confidence, but I do have a lot of self doubt.

Ich zu diszipliert und zielstrebig bin, und dafür sorgen würde dass Menschen sich hier noch wohlerfühlen und zu ihrer Arbeit gehen.
One reason not to hire me could be that I don't have a business education. However, I am a quick learner and moreover, I propose that my scientific background includes transferable skills.


I have not yet worked in a consultancy, I need to adjust to the new work environment with more structure and processes, but I know that I am very flexible, easily coping with change

If you send me to Italy I could go to AC Milan match straight away:)


I had never worked in an international environment in previous positions and therefore I am not experienced in professional working situations with people from different cultures. I am confident that I can overcome this challenge because I have had many interactions with people from different cultures, in my travels and during my school years.

I don't know each rule and each pattern by know , and i dont mind to mix some things up. Conservative Companies wouldn't like it. But i will use at as a chance to find new ideas , create other perspectives and learn by gaining experience threw coworkers and threw my projects.



My values do not allign with that of the company


I think I can be a good fit at your company, the only reason not to hire me would be if you had other candidates that fitted better
