SO MANY college students come to me asking what can they do to improve their chances or how they can become a technology consultant. I put all of my advice separated by freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior year. This doesn’t matter how early or how late you discover the career of technology consulting or how well you’ve prepared or hustled up until this point, this advice is for everyone!
I am now a tech consultant of two years at Accenture specializing in Workday Financials software implementations. On the side, I helped students from my alma mater, Boston University, in career skills and tech consulting, but now I’m casting the net wider! I now have a YouTube channel that teaches everyone the career of tech consulting (way too few resources on this career!) and a lot of career skills I think that are taken for granted like this one!
In this video, I go over EXACTLY what you need to become a technology consultant. This is a part of a two-part series with this going over the skills and certifications you need. Part one which covered education and experience came out on Monday! Though the video goes over what you need to do to become a technology consultant, don’t be discouraged as I provide my tips and strategies on how you can pivot into the career starting from almost any background today!
Education and Experience:
My channel focuses on professional development but I also highlight my experience, lifestyle, and insights into a career in technology consulting in hopes to encourage more women to consider this amazing career – especially in STEM!
Any questions at all about the tips I provided or about Accenture or technology consulting, please let me know!
I received an overwhelming response of interest from everyone on technology consulting, so I’m doubling down on content to provide more resources for you where I’m uploading TWICE a week (Mondays and Thursdays)! Especially when consulting companies like Accenture hire for college full time hires in September, I thought this would be perfect timing. If you’re already in the workforce, they hire all year long (even now during COVID)!
