Accenture work tends to be client-facing, so part of the interview was, presumably, to check that I can present myself professionally and make a good impression on the client. In other words, check that I don't have three heads, or some other major personal presentation issue...

thanks. I enjoy reading your posts, keep 'em coming!

He's suggesting that the only qualification Accenture required of prospective new employees was having the correct number of heads.

The fact that there's not already some law against this can only be attributed to the weakness of the pushmepullyou rights lobby.

Actually, places like Accenture do tend to hire better looking people. Especially women. That goes into the whole "chicks making charts strategy" people joke about.

My friend is still working at Accenture (sigh) as a senior manager and he says the only purpose of the first interview is to weed out the morons.
