Graduate Data Entry/Market Research Intern at Mamalette

Interview Question: Can You Give Me an Example of When You Have Had to Demonstrate Business Acumen?

“Can you give me an example of when you have had to demonstrate business acumen?”

This is a very common interview question liked by many employers. In the legal profession this is asked in almost every single interview for solicitors, paralegals and partners.

HR managers and other recruitment professionals in a whole range of different types of interview regularly ask about business acumen, whether these are legal job interviews, accountancy interviews, interviews for managers at a whole load of different levels.

Sometimes employers try to throw a spanner in the works and ask you what the difference is between commercial awareness and business acumen (there isn’t one!).

Quite a lot of people who have been in business for some years have no problem at all answering this question because they have an understanding as to what a commercial organisation is looking for, but students and new entrants to the job market struggle with the whole concept as well as quite a few non-professionals who are advising on careers.

The whole reason for employers asking this question is to make sure that the person they are interviewing actually understands the concept of working for your daily bread.

This means understanding that if you are being paid a salary and the organisation you are working for is dependent on making a profit in order to pay you that salary then you have to contribute to making the profit. If you do not understand this when you are not going to be much use to any employer.

It is a common fallacy amongst graduates that they are joining an organisation in order to further their own career and to gain good experience for themselves. It is often reflected in covering letters and emails and also in CVs. This is completely the wrong attitude to take to job searching. You have to consider every single job from the perspective of the employer. If you do not do this then chances are you will be rejected.

So when you are asked a question about business acumen think what it is you are being asked to understand. If you are speaking to a partner of a very senior organisation, he is expecting you to understand that companies are there to make a profit. Business acumen is demonstrated by understanding that the employer does this in certain ways through marketing, business development, selling to existing clients, performing a job effectively to get repeat business and successfully tendering for business as well.

If you are interviewing with a smaller firm then none of the above is particularly relevant. They are more interested in your own ability at marketing, business development, generating your own clients, making sure that your billing levels are high in order to ensure a good level of profitability and to understand that you are there to make your employer money so that he or she in return can pay you.

If you can demonstrate this very quickly through describing a situation when you have had to show business acumen, you will have answered this question well. This merely needs to be something along the lines of marketing, business development, increasing profits for a company or organisation, or being involved in sales.

Preferably, this needs to be in a work environment so if you are a student try to avoid going back to your young enterprise schemes at school and concentrate on any part-time work you have done where you have identified a way of improving profitability for that particular company.

If you are a professional in a business then try to concentrate on your most existing role and give a demonstration of when you have either increased profitability, increased sales, generated extra work, getting the client, boosted your billing levels or something similar.

Keep it short and sweet and straight to the point and you should have no problem at all with answering this question.

Learn Writing Style - What is Technical Writing?

Technical writing, sometimes called business writing, is writing for a specific purpose and with a specific goal. Usually its goal is to inform/instruct or persuade/argue. Technical writing can really be considered transactional writing because there are two people or groups involved in the communication. One party has a clear goal to inform or persuade the other party. This is real-world writing in every sense. You may not be aware of how much it already impacts your world through textbooks, instructions, web sites, and communications from many businesses and service organizations. There are professional technical communicators but only large organizations have them and even then they are not there to do your daily work for you and that is why it is so helpful for many to take at least an introductory technical writing class.

Why is technical communication important and what will you use it for? Actually, technical writing will be used by most college graduates as a regular part of their work. It is much more likely that you will use technical writing than either academic or creative writing unless you specifically enter those fields. A few examples of why you will likely need these skills include: getting a job – preparing a resume or curriculum vitae, cover letter, application, and portfolio; doing your job – preparing memos, letters, reports, instructions, case reports, reviews, assignments, descriptions, etc.; and keeping your job – communicating with management, co-workers, peers, patients/students/public.

What separates technical communication from other forms of writing, such as academic writing? Technical communication has a specific audience and is purposeful, usually intended to solve a problem for that audience. One area that really sets technical communication apart is that it is quite often collaborative. Technical communication is also focused on readability issues, not only the use of clear writing, but also page design and graphics. The excellence of technical writing is judged by clarity, accuracy, comprehensiveness, accessibility, conciseness, professional appearance, and correctness.

There are seven principles to guide technical writing: remember your purpose (to inform or persuade), remember your audience (their concerns, background, attitude toward your purpose), make your content specific to its purpose and audience, write clearly and precisely (active voice, appropriate language to audience), make good use of visuals (good page design and graphics), and be ethical (truthful, full disclosure, no plagiarizing).

Technical communication serves both explicit, or clear, and implicit, or implied, purposes. Explicit purposes include to provide information, to provide instructions, to persuade the reader to act upon the information, or to enact or prohibit something. Implicit purposes include establishing a relationship, creating trust, establishing credibility, and documenting actions. Most technical communications are based on a problem statement which gives your document a clearly stated objective for your benefit as well as your reader’s. The problem statement defines the problem, by doing more than simply stating your topic, it goes on to explain what about that topic is at issue. For example, if your topic is career guidance then your problem could be the fact that many adults need help identifying a career that suits their strengths and abilities and the solution that your document will present is to create a comprehensive clearing house that helps people identify career paths through military, vocational training, and higher education.

How To Break Into Management Consulting At Bain

From the get-go, Bain differentiated its management consulting business by linking itself to its clients’ successes or failures. While producing a lot of pressure for results, the firm enjoys a reputation for hard work and results-oriented service. Since its inception in 1973, the firm has grown and found itself among the so-called “Big 3” of the consulting industry. Widely perceived as the creme de la creme of consulting jobs, getting hired is a challenge, but understanding the firm and its differentiators will help you land the Bain career of your dreams.

A unique Bain practice, not used by other top firms like AT Kearney, Booz, BCG, and McKinsey, is the consistent practice of forming mutual economic agreements with their clients. Bain’s “put your money where your mouth is” practice shows a lot of confidence in their business practices and a commitment to helping their clients get tangible results. Since Bain only profits when their clients do, it adds a lot of pressure to deliver for the client. This innovative and bold business function is one reason many see Bain as the best management consulting firm on the planet.

The interview process differs somewhat depending on where you are at in your career. Bain focuses more on case interviews with college graduates and early career candidates while shifting to more of an experienced-based interview for mid and advanced-career professionals. The interview often consists of a blend of case study work and experience-based questions.

Bain management consulting has excellent resources on their website for interested applicants. They actually have an entirely different website and domain showcasing careers as the firm. Candidates would do themselves a favor if they spend some time thoroughly reviewing the entire Bain career website to prepare for their interview. They have several case studies on the site including a video case study. Candidates can find out a great deal about the firm’s core values, culture, career paths and the its awards and recognition.

Although Bain hires people from a variety of academic disciplines and life experiences, there are common characteristics that can be found in Bain management consulting professionals. The Firm highly values complex problem solving skills, demonstrated thought leadership, passion, and a results-oriented mentality.

Bain recruits at top-tier colleges and universities all over the world. The firm generally prefers Ivy League graduates, but they also value a wide array of experience and educational backgrounds that hail from outside of the top-tier institutions.

Results are the backbone of the company and for Bain’s clients, meaning that employees should be equally results-driven and illustrate tangibly the results they have produced in their own endeavors. You must brand yourself as unique while also showing that you embody the qualities Bain seeks in its management consultants.

Many top consulting firms have a penchant for hiring MBAs, but Bain is very open to hiring people from non-MBA backgrounds. They hire people from a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds as long as those people can show they have the skill set and characteristics that Bain is looking for.

Bain definitely has a work hard play hard mentality. The firm is dynamic and eschews stagnancy. Bain management consulting associates are very high energy, high performing people who excel at virtually everything they do. Bain encourages its people to be open-minded in their approaches to diversity and offers social groups for minority groups, such as “Blacks at Bain”. Bain offers a collegial atmosphere that includes associates spending a lot of time together inside and outside the office.

A career at Bain will provide you with the skill set and training you need to do virtually anything with your career. Follow these guidelines, work hard, and don’t give up.
