The leading resource on all things consulting, including resumes, interviews, case studies, and finding management consulting jobs!

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’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 bought your Consulting Bible training course several weeks ago in a frantic, last-minute attempt to prepare for upcoming consulting interviews. I knew your course focused on strategy consulting – but after reading everything you covered, I figured much of the stuff would overlap with technology and operations consulting too. Am I glad I bought it!! Literally, like 1/3 of the fit questions were pulled straight from your course. I almost laughed out loud. The cases a few of the companies provided were more quantitative/featured more charts, but the way you broke down each answer and particularly, the right components for the answer, were really spot-on. And now I’m happy to announce…I have offers from both Navigant AND Accenture! Thanks again. I will be telling everyone at Haas that I know.

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.

Thank you for the wonderful edits. They are very helpful and clearly pointed out the direction how both writings can be further improved.

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.

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

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.

Vikram, Teach For American Fellow

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.
