What can I do to make myself more desirable to work at Deloitte?

Veteran

Heather Lofquist Erie, CO

Hello!

I have applied to (and made it through multiple interviews for one position) a few jobs with Deloitte. (I absolutely love Deloitte as a company and it's my career goal to work there.) The job where I made it the furthest was probably too senior of a position for me (senior manager). I would like to know where I would best fit (job description-wise and level-wise) AND what I can do now to improve my portfolio and make myself more hire-able at Deloitte.

I am at a point in my career (I returned to the workforce in January 2016 after having my children) where I am looking for a place I can be long-term with a career path.

My website (which includes my resume and the beginnings of my portfolio - I need to continue to add to it) can be found here. https://lofquistperformanceimprovement.com/

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

Hi Heather,

My response may be delayed, but I am in Human Capital Consulting at Deloitte and would be happy to connect. If you are still pursuing Deloitte as a career opportunity and interested in Human Capital, please feel free to send me a direct message to discuss further. When it comes to consulting, networking and internal referrals are nearly essential to the recruiting process (and also to the job once you get started!)

Best,
Kristin

Thank you both for the feedback! I just popped back onto the careers site and applied to this position: https://jobs2.deloitte.com/us/en/job/DELOA004X136110/Learning-Solutions-Manager

Fingers crossed!

Heather - impressive website and portfolio. How to become more "hire-able" is a hard question to answer. I believe you have demonstrated a clear area of interest and expertise. I think that the next step would be focused on finding the right fit. I would highly suggest that you continue to put your resume forward for opportunities at Deloitte.
