07 Sourcing consultants: The view from the other side with Helena Rees

Today I am speaking with Helena Rees. Helena worked for a large global consultancy firm for 10 years and was responsible for sourcing consultants for a variety of projects. Her role focused on identifying suitable consultants and liaising on fee rates, CV preparation, and taking consultants through the bidding process.  In this conversation, we go through the step-by-step process of what happens when a company bids for a project and how consultants are selected.   Helena shares the worst CVs she has received (what not to do) as well as plenty of tips on how to make your CV relevant for a large consulting firm.  You can find out more about Helena and her work below.LinkedIn________________________________________________________________________________________More resources are available here:https://www.womensconsultingworkshop.com/learning________________________________________________________________________________________The Women's Consulting Workshop is our free private group for women who are working in consulting.
