In Reply To: It's hard to say what you should say, other than show that you have a background in what you are applying for, be flexible, and have a command of the English Language. But here are some things that you shouldn't say: 1. I would rather not travel that much. 2. I don't like working with foreigners. 3. I'm not too good with deadlines. 4. I need a lot of hand holding and mentoring. 5. I have a 4 week vacation planned in a month is that ok? 6. I'm planning on going to grad school in 6 months. 7. I really need to work on that 3-4-5 schedule the recruiter told be about. 8. I have a fear of flying. 9. What does a consultant do anyway? 10. You're an MD right, what will be your role on my project?
Message: You should expect for them to drag you along until a project comes along that they can book you on. Unless you are qualified, then they will not offer you a job for fear that you may show up the MD on the engagement
