If you want to prepare well for your consultant interview, you need to learn the simple secrets that will help you make your mark by either spending some time thinking about how you are going to present your candidacy, invest a small amount of money to help you save a lot of time or give up a lot of cash to go to an expensive live course.
You need to do what you feel will make you most prepared. This is an investment both of time and money - but unless you bring thinking and application into the equation, no course will help you get through that consultant interview
