Do you know what we look for?

InKM Consultancy consultants excel in four main areas.

Problem solving
We help leaders solve their toughest and most urgent problems. We have superior intellectual abilities and a practical sense of what works in complex organizations.

Achieving
We strive to deliver distinctive and lasting client impact. This requires tremendous energy, determination, and judgment, particularly when working with multiple stakeholders under tight deadlines.

Personal impact
We work closely with a wide range of people in their daily jobs. This calls for strong communication skills—particularly when addressing conflicting points of view. We are adept at building trusting relationships with clients to enlist their participation and support.

Leadership
Leading people and fostering productive teamwork are critical to success here. Our leadership skills bring people together to drive positive change within organizations.

We are accomplished and well rounded, with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We’re also fun to work with. Our clients and colleagues value our unique mix of talent, skill, and character.

What we look for in a resume?

The first part of the candidate screening process at InKM Consultancy is a resume review. We use resumes to help us determine whom to invite to our interviewing process. Therefore, it is important for your resume to be the best possible reflection of you and of your achievements.

Your resume should not only accurately reflect your achievements to date, but also provide some sense of the scale of those achievements. A successful resume will also give the reader a sense for who you are as a person, as reflected in the activities and achievements you view as important in your life.

Key skill areas

Our resume/CV reviewers look for evidence of achievement in the four key skill areas outlined in what we look for: problem-solving, achieving, personal impact, and leadership.

Education

We prefer to see details of graduate work and college/tertiary education first. Include your degree subject, university, degree grades at each major milestone of your course and any major prizes or awards, specifying key dates. You should also include any significant academic projects (e.g., senior thesis, major research work, etc.) that you feel help illustrate your academic ability.

Depending on your national background, it may be important that you provide details of your results in all subjects in key examinations (e.g., high school diploma, ‘A' levels, baccalaureate grades).

Applicants who have taken standardized tests. Provide as much detail as possible here. If you have academic transcripts showing detailed grades, send us a copy. If you studied in an academic system with which we may be unfamiliar, try where possible to translate your result to help the reviewer understand (e.g., top two percent of students nationally).

Work experience

If you have work experience, emphasize what you achieved in each major role beyond your key day-to-day responsibilities. We are most interested in the impact you have had in your career (e.g., the key things that changed because of your direct involvement). You may also describe unique skills and experiences that will help us understand the strengths you bring to the table.

Other skills and achievements

We are interested in any volunteer or charity work, or positions of responsibility in professional bodies—particularly where they demonstrate leadership, initiative-taking, or extraordinary commitment.

Similarly, you should include leadership positions, significant involvement in extracurricular activities, and significant participation in sports, games, societies, or hobbies. For example, a high level of achievement in a sport tells us something about your commitment and drive to achieve. Don't just tell us about your hobbies; tell us what you have achieved in pursuing them.

Generally you should only include items that you feel will help us understand your strengths better (rather than including something just for the sake of having it).

Languages

Include any foreign languages for which you have business conversational ability or better. For languages, rate yourself as either basic, competent, or fluent.

We are as committed to the growth of our consultants as we are to our clients; neither would exist without the other. Our employees are an integral part of an entrepreneurial and highly innovative firm that is working to raise the game of much of the professional services world
