Met with the 3 principal leaders of the Company. To understand what types of clients you would be able to work on, they ask you very detailed questions about all the various aspects of your employment background. It was a very detailed interview process from this respect. I was also asked about my professional credentials and contact people I knew in the Los Angeles market as potential referrals and clients.

I was referred by a current 8020 Consulting consultant. The interview process took about a little less than a month, and it was one of the most professionally and strategically conducted interviews I’ve had in the last 15 years. I first spoke with Erin Youel on the phone. Her screening process was very intuitive and natural. She was very well-spoken, polite, and direct to the point. She coordinated all my interviews and was very prompt with her responses. My phone interview was followed by in-person interviews with the three primary leaders of the company (in different times/days, in order) Kelly Patchett (with Erin), Shawn Spears, and David Lewis. All my interviewers were very pleasant to talk to, genuine, intelligent, very knowledgeable of the business, high integrity, and focus/driven. The interviewers informed me of what the position entailed, the type of clients, the duration, the skillsets they believe essential to be successful in the consulting world and, more importantly, the expectations as a consultant. They were extremely informative and asked many questions not only about my technical skills but who I was as a person to make sure I fit the dynamic of the company. I was very inspired, encouraged, and looked forward to the next process after each interview.
