You’ve worked hard to get to a position where you can even be considered for a management consulting role, and now you’re ready to put your best foot forward in a management consulting interview. Don’t start dreaming of your perfect job just yet – there’s still a lot of hard work left in front of you before you land that dream consulting offer!

What can you do to improve your odds of breaking into this notoriously competitive industry? Prepare for consulting case studies and every other part of the process with Management Consulted. 55% of our Black Belt clients land offers at Top 10 firms, as opposed to 3% industry-wide.

What Are Consulting Case Studies?

If you are applying for a job in the industry, you’ve no doubt heard of the case study interview. Case studies are the most common (and most misunderstood) part of the consulting interview process. Candidates are given an example business problem to solve, with limited time and little information. Consulting case studies are meant to test your business acumen, mental math skills, ability to think on your feet, problem-solving skills, communication abilities, and more.

Consulting firms use the case interview because it works. While you can work with us to polish your resume and create the best cover letter over time, there is no walking away and formulating a strategy in the case interview. This is why preparation is so important – the problem solving approach in case interviews isn’t one many of us use naturally. Without expert preparation, it is very difficult to ace the case.

What Do We Do?

Management Consulted offers consulting case prep, resume edits, case study examples, practice cases, and more. We offer a holistic approach to consulting prep – from networking to resumes, from the fit interview to the case interview, to help you land your dream consulting offer.

The most common mistake we see prospective candidates make is focusing all of their prep on reading case interview books and practicing on your own. Without out-loud practice with experts who give you instant feedback and coaching, it’s very difficult to simulate the consulting interview environment. Contact Management Consulted today to get started on the journey to your dream consulting job!

I live in Australia, just got an offer call from Bain this past Friday. Used your Consulting Bible. Thank you for creating it — perhaps the best $$ I’ve ever spent. For fit / behavioral questions, it was really spot on. I can’t recall how many times during the interview process people either said, “tell me about xxx in your resume” or “tell me about a time when xxx;” — although the questions weren’t always exactly the ones in The Consulting Bible, my prepared hero stories / answers to the questions in the MC course were enough that I was able to handle every behavioral q that came up during the entire interview process."

Once again, thank you for the feedback on my resume and cover letter. I appreciate how you and your team did a better job of telling my whole story instead of focusing solely on my work experience at GE.

Dear sweet mother of pearl, I have wasted all of my money on resume services until now. You guys are undercharging for this kind of work. I kind of sent this in a malaise after browsing the internet and realizing how incredibly inaccessible the big time firms are to me and this is way better than therapy. I might as well just send you terrible resumes whenever I’m down, therapists charge enough…

I cannot speak more highly of the resume service provided by Management Consulted. The advice I was given was in depth and in addition to making revisions for me, the team took the time to make sure I understood the strengths and weaknesses of my resume as I head into the recruiting process. I’ve shown my resume to contacts at various consulting firms, including McKinsey and Monitor, as well as friends in business school and have gotten nothing but positive feedback.

I’ve been practicing cases for 6 months, but with the limited resources available I’ve been really frustrated. I was stoked when I found the Consulting Case Bank. It’s been a HUGE help this summer! I think the price is really fair for what you get.

I’ve been a huge fan of your site for a few years now. I went to Chicago Booth, which is known for its strong career services office, and nothing at the school was as valuable as the info on your site and in the Consulting Interview Bible. Even though I’m in marketing, your advice is so pertinent to a variety of industries.

I used your cover letter for my Spring Internship applications, and am happy to report that up until now I already got 8 interview invitations out of it. Again, I cannot thank you enough.

My friends look at my resume and have been trying to model theirs after mine. I cannot speak more highly of the resume service provided by Management Consulted. The advice I was given was in depth and in addition to making revisions for me, the team took the time to make sure I understood the strengths and weaknesses of my resume as I head into the recruiting process...I wish I had received the feedback sooner.
