I had my telephone interview with ACN yesterday and as funny as it might sound i think i'm going to be choked to death by anxiety before the result comes back. What's worse? I can't really say why. As far as i'm concerned with no Bias or anything i think it went well. Duration was about 25 minutes and it was just a chat about 2 of my past projects at existing work place. I had to highlight what I did etc. I think the part reason i'm a bit anxious is i was hoping we'd be on the phone for atleast 45 minutes so i had the time to really dig into my CV (I had it infront of me) and really show my strengths but he wanted me to highlight only 2 projects and in less than 15 minutes i wasn't sure that was good enough to really talk up what i have done or can do. Although i can understand a detailed amount of that info is on my CV. One thing that however caught my attention was my interviewer was very particular about how many people reported to me on each project. Does this mean i'm being sized up for a managerial role? He said i'd get a response from HR within a day or two. Any ACN staff/managers on here can advise on chances of passing/failing telephone interviews for experienced hires? And how about the questions about how many people reported to me on projects? All thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Monday morning....still nothing

25 minutes does strike me as a short interview. Either you did so well that they had no further reason to dig further into your experience and achievements, or you just aren't a 'good fit' for the role applied for and the firm.The telephone interview really is to determine whether or not they can put you in front of a client (the right attitude, approach, professionalism). This is especially crucial if you're NOT from a consulting background.Secondary to that, it's to determine you are what you say you are in your CV (skills, experience) to gauge what level you potentially are.E.g. if you're applying for a Manager role, but have never led a team or brought in business then it may be better to consider you for a lower level.I'd give them a call and follow up on feedback/outcome.

Thanks @Willis. As at today i'm still yet to hear back even though i sent a mail two days ago. In fairness 10 working days was specified in my interview email and therefore within that time frame they are not under any obligation to get back to me before Thursday 20th February. As for performance on the interview i'm really hoping its more of me doing quite well than not being the right fit. The two projects i discussed were i purposely picked to show my technical skills (while working as a solution integrator) as well as my customer facing skills (While working as a solution architect). Also each of my project on my CV were broken down using the STAR technique hence fairly detailed. Perhaps this might be why the interviewer felt there wasn't really much to ask me?? I guess time will tell.

I wouldn't worry too much. It sounds like your interview went well so it may just be a case of them being slow to respond/make a decision. I'd advise focusing on other interviews and applications. Always good to have a few offers on the table, plus it's a bargaining tool during package negotiations when Accenture get back to you.
