As Featured In:

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!

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.

I purchased the Management Consulted Book Bundle and it has by far been the clearest and most informative collection of instructions on the whole ‘getting into consulting’ process. Thanks so much for all the great work you guys are doing!"

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.

One of the questions that we worked on was the ONLY fit question that I got – and I nailed it after working through exactly what the answer was with you.

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.

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 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.

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!

I’m greatly impressed with the timeliness and professionalism of Management Consulted and would be more than happy to share my experience with other. As always, thanks for everything!
