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!

Resume Editing

Management Consulting is insanely selective – you only have one chance to impress recruiters with your resume. Don’t waste it!

As MBB consultants, we reviewed hundreds of resumes. Together, we’ll build a new consulting-focused resume that will tell your story powerfully and, most importantly, land interviews.

The resume edit was the single best thing I did to prepare for both recruiting processes (I did both finance and consulting summer recruiting this year). I got interviews almost everywhere.... I probably wouldn’t have gotten the Goldman internship without your resume editing help either. Thanks for making me look like the competitive candidate I knew I could be!"

A junior at Stanford

Just wanted to let you guys know how my recruiting turned out after our practice interviews. I got 2 offers this weekend, one from LEK Boston and one from McKinsey Dubai. I still have a final with Bain Dubai coming up on Thursday. Thanks so much for your help! You guys are great.

Fred, U.S. undergrad

Just got off the phone with McKinsey and have been offered an Associate position!!!!!! I have absolutely no doubt that I couldn’t have done this without you. Thank you so much for working with me over the past few weeks!

Andy, Double Black Belt

What I found most helpful about the resume editing was that it started out very broad and as we worked more and more on it, I was eased into correcting the smaller nit-picky things. For example, during the first edit, we nailed down things like formatting and general ideas that I wanted the resume to present. Things such as: more results-oriented bullet points, more numeric examples for these results, what to keep in, what to take out. After that, I was able to go into the details, adding metrics and finessing wording.

Victoria, University student who received multiple consulting job offers

Thanks very much for all your work - I’m very impressed with the quality of your inputs as well as the timeliness of your responses. Extremely professional and very unlike the shoddy job that another service did for me over a year ago.

Amit

I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking a look at my resume and giving me all these great pointers. I thought my resume couldn’t get any better when I sent it to you, but with your help I was able to see things differently. Ever since I re-created my resume, I have received more phone calls from recruiters and it really proved that the advice you gave did work.

Anon

Certainly, without the input and refining of my resume by Management Consulted, my resume wouldn’t have generated any interest, much less an interview. With your help, my resume became much more concise with results and numbers in the right places. I applied to McKinsey last year… so [getting an offer this year] sums up the contributions of your editing services!

Edward, Biology PhD in UK who landed an interview with McKinsey

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.
