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!

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…"

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.

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.

First off, thanks for even putting a site like this together. When I came across it as an email forward on a Booth mailing list, I began reading every article that I could. I read through what you were promising for The Consulting Bible, and you convinced me to buy it. I started going through all the questions – in particular, the sizing questions because I’m weak in them and never confident in my assumptions. I finished my final rounds with BCG several days ago, and just received an offer from their Dubai office! Thanks again – without the confidence that your methods and guidance engendered, I really don’t think I would’ve been as comfortable in particularly the final round interviews.

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.

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.

The resume edit you did kicked bottoms. I’ve gotten a job with ****** therapeutics (opened by 3 ex-bain consultant coincidentally) for the next 3 months (at least, contract can be extended)!

Doreen, PhD candidate

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.
