1. Consultant

   A consultant is a professional who provides professional or expert advice in a particular area such as security, management, accountancy, law, human resources, marketing, finance, engineering, or any of many other specialized fields. A consultant is usually an expert or a professional in a specific field and has a wide knowledge of the subject matter. The role of consultant outside the medical sphere can fall under one of two general categories: ⁕Internal Consultant - someone who operates within an organization but is available to be consulted on areas of specialism by other departments or individuals; or ⁕External Consultant - someone who is employed externally whose expertise is provided on a temporary basis, usually for a fee. As such this type of consultant generally engages with multiple and changing clients. The overall impact of a consultant is that clients have access to deeper levels of expertise than would be feasible for them to retain in-house, and may purchase only as much service from the outside consultant as desired.

Examples of Consultant in a Sentence

1. Jeb Bush:

   You have to pivot towards what you want to say, and look at -- learn to interrupt in a way that doesn't sound like you're just oppressively rude, you've got to garner the space. You got to talk about what's important, and I'll do that. Whether I've got a consultant is not as relevant right now.

2. Tom Arnold:

   He's with Melania and I'm with my wife at the time, Shelby Roos, who's a political consultant, and he said to me, oh my gosh, you married up in the world. And he goes, Roseanne was disgusting. And he said that to me out of the blue. Like, you know what, no matter what kind of divorce you had, that's a weird thing to say.

3. Charles Herbster:

   I don't think there's any consultant you can hire that is going to win the race for you, but I have a great team in Kelly Tshibaka Nebraska, and I wouldn't undertake something like this that didn't involve Corey Lewandowski, Kellyanne Conway and Dave.

4. Molly Forgey:

   ?Jacky built a career as a computer programmer and software developer for major companies in Southern Nevada, and she used those tech skills to continue her career as an independent consultant, an independent consultant operates a business, and it’s absurd for Senator Heller to insinuate otherwise.

5. Gil Garcetti:

   Marcia Clark The lead prosecutor is a very good lawyer, but one of the things with Marcia Clark The lead prosecutor was that Marcia Clark The lead prosecutor did n’t heed the advice of our trial consultant who told Marcia Clark The lead prosecutor not to pick African-American women — particularly black mothers — for that jury, marcia Clark The lead prosecutor did n’t listen and once Marcia Clark The lead prosecutor did that, there was no chance that we ’d get a guilty verdict, although I still thought we ’d get two or three jurors to hold out for a hung jury.
