Clean up Your Consulting Resume in 30 mins

Your resume is often your first opportunity to make an impression, and in consulting, even small changes can make a meaningful difference. This session is for candidates who want to strengthen their consulting resume and improve their chances of landing interviews. You’ll learn how to communicate impact more effectively, highlight the experiences firms care about most, and eliminate the common mistakes that weaken otherwise strong resumes.

How to Structure Any Case

After this session, you'll know how to walk into any case with a clear framework for structuring your thinking from the first 30 seconds. We'll cover how to identify which structure fits a given prompt, how to avoid the most common structural mistakes I see candidates make in live interviews, and how to communicate your logic in a way that signals business intuition rather than memorized templates.

Crafting Strong Behavioral Stories for Consulting Interviews

After this session, you will know how to structure behavioral stories that hold up under the pressure of a consulting interview, including how to frame impact without overstating your role and how to adapt the same story across different competency questions. You will also leave with a clearer sense of which story types tend to resonate with interviewers evaluating leadership, ambiguity, and teamwork.

Management Consulting Week Kickoff

Breaking into consulting can feel overwhelming when you're trying to navigate networking, recruiting timelines, case interviews, and firm selection all at once. This kickoff session is designed for aspiring consultants who want a clear roadmap for the recruiting process and a better understanding of what to focus on throughout the week. You’ll learn how top firms evaluate candidates, identify the most important components of a successful recruiting strategy, and create a plan for getting the most value from each upcoming session.

XYZ Holiday Parks: Full Case + Model Answers

The exact case I ran live in Inside the Interview Room, now with the full model solution written out.

This video covers everything you need to know about issue trees: what they are, why interviewers score your structure before anything else, the four ways to break down any problem (stakeholder, process, segment, math), and the five tips that separate a strong tree from a weak one. Then I build one live from scratch on a real case so you can see exactly how it comes together.

4 Case Interview Habits That Separate Offers From Rejections

Most case prep focuses on frameworks and practice. What it misses is the small habits that interviewers actually notice in the room. This cheat sheet covers 4 behaviors that consistently separate candidates who get MBB offers from those who don't. Based on real experience as an ex-McKinsey consultant and HBS MBA who has been on both sides of the interview table. Useful whether you have 3 weeks or 3 months until your interview.
