While looking at Consultant vacancies I saw this line: "First professional experience within a Consultancy" as one of the listed qualifications.
This is so vague. Do they mean that they want someone with previous Consultancy experience with only 1 company?
Edited: Added information below.
Here is an except from their listed "Desired Qualifications":
- Above-average degree in Engineering or Science
- First professional experience within a Consultancy
- Analytical and strategic mindset
- High communication skills
- Ability to work independently as well as in a team...
So do they want someone with consulting experience or not? I have tried HR on multiple days at different times. No one ever answers. :/
Emails have also been ignored. I only sent 2 because I didn't want to seem like I was pestering them.
Guess this is a sign to not apply...:D

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:

It could also at a pinch mean that your first "professional experience" (i.e. real job) was at a consultancy, or they could be saying that this job should be your first experience within a consultancy, i.e. you shouldn't have been a consultant anywhere else. I think you'd have to contact them and ask.

To me it is "Never having been a consultant before" which sets off all kind of red flags. Are they counting on inexperience to take advantage? But like anything else doesn't hurt to respond and ask.

Need context. Could be asking applicants to tell the company when their first ... was.

This would be purely company specific, it's not a common requirement. Since you can't contact HR to actually ask them. I suggest you move along and avoid anything to do with them.
Being unable to contact HR on multiple ocassions is enough of a red flag for me.
