Day 1: Apply with resume and cover letter Day 2: Asked to phone interview. I replied with my availability. Day 10: Phone interview finally arranged for that day. Easy phone interview. Invited to interview in person Day 12: Interview along with other candidates. Rotate between four interviews after viewing a software demo. The demo did not work, and they blamed the internet connection. Two young consultants took us to lunch after the interviews. At this stage that I learned the key to acing a factset interview: have an employee referral. The consultants and candidates then spent the lunch discussing their referrals and what friends they had in common. The consultants had been referred themselves and they informed these candidates about the referral process and how well it works. I felt left out. Day 28: No response yet, fairly unprofessional.
