Build a Consulting Resume that Wins Interviews
Your resume is your first interview. In consulting recruiting, a few lines on a page can determine whether you receive an interview invitation or a rejection. This package is designed to help you build a resume that captures attention, communicates impact, and reflects the qualities top consulting firms are looking for. Led by a former BCG Partner with firsthand experience evaluating candidates, this program goes beyond formatting and wordsmithing. You'll learn how recruiters and interviewers assess resumes, what separates top candidates from the rest, and how to position your achievements in a way that resonates with firms like McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other leading consultancies. Through personalized coaching, you'll transform your experiences into a compelling consulting narrative that highlights leadership, analytical rigor, problem-solving ability, and measurable impact. What we'll work on Resume Strategy & Positioning: * Learn how consulting firms evaluate resumes and what recruiters look for in top candidates. * Identify the experiences, achievements, and leadership examples that deserve the most attention. Impact-Driven Resume Editing: * Refine every bullet point to emphasize results, ownership, analytical thinking, and business impact. * Strengthen your resume using the language, structure, and storytelling techniques that resonate with consulting recruiters. Personal Brand Development: * Craft a compelling narrative that connects your background, experiences, and career aspirations to consulting. * Position non-traditional or diverse experiences as strengths rather than obstacles. Application Strategy Insights: * Gain practical advice on how your resume fits into the broader recruiting process, including networking, referrals, interviews, and application timing. By the end of this program, you'll have more than a refined resume—you'll have a strategic application asset built to maximize your chances of securing interviews and progressing through the consulting recruiting process.

Former BCG Partner | Recruiting & Interview Expert (100+) | Wharton MBA
I've sat on every side of the table you're trying to get to. I spent a decade at BCG, where I rose from Associate to Partner and built a career advising Fortune 500 leadership teams on growth strategy, transformation, operations, and operating model design. Before that, I cut my teeth in investment banking at CIBC World Markets and in corporate strategy at Warner Bros. Today, I'm the Chief of Staff at a PE-backed global AI platform, where I lead AI strategy, long-range planning, board governance, and corporate development. I earned my MBA at the Wharton School, where I graduated as a Palmer Scholar (top 5% of class), and a BCom with First Class Honours from Queen's University. I know what makes an MBA application stand out — not because I read about it, but because I lived it, and because I've since hired and developed dozens of MBA graduates at BCG and beyond. What I can help you with: 1. Breaking into management consulting — MBB and tier-2 firm applications, resume strategy, case prep, behavioral interviews, and the unwritten signals firms actually screen for 2. US MBA admissions — School selection, essay strategy, resume positioning, recommender management, and interview prep, with a particular focus on M7 programs 3. Resume screening and career positioning — How to make a recruiter, hiring partner, or admissions reader pause on your resume in the seven seconds you actually get I work best with candidates who are ambitious, coachable, and willing to do the unglamorous reps it takes to break through. If that's you, I'd love to help you get where you're going faster than I did.
