Over 80% of our consulting resume clients get interviews.
Is your resume good enough?
Is your resume ready for consulting applications? Our expert team will assess it for you and then complete tailored edits to get you in the door and on your way to an interview.
Getting a consulting interview is harder than getting into Harvard. Under 10% of candidates are selected. To succeed, you must pass a 10-second scan that covers 4 key areas: Education, Work Experience, Leadership, and Personal.
Because of our history of success, most clients actually opt to begin case interview prep at the same time – but you can start with just a resume or resume/cover letter and upgrade later, too.

Why the MC Editing Process Opens Impossible Doors for You
We don’t make suggestions – we do the work in 2 rounds of edits to tell your story in a clear and concise way. When you get frustrated with how to explain your roles effectively, we listen and reposition your achievements in a way that resonates with reviewers.
Balanced Structure
Consulting firms aren’t interested in one-hit wonders. We emphasize your success in multiple arenas, and ensure that your professional story and personality both shine through.Clean Format
Over 80% of the resumes we review would be automatically discarded. We take you from the trash pile to “wow, looks great” without silly tricks – just good, clean format.Vivid Wording
We treat every line like it could make or break the resume, because it can. Keywords? Yup. Metrics? Absolutely. We work on every sentence and fill in the blanks with your input.
I have received an interview to almost every firm (boutique or top 15) without knowing the recruiter, which means my resume and cover letter were excellent. In fact, some of smaller firms created a summer internship position or opened a full-time role to meet my application.

Education
Not the valedictorian of your Stanford graduating class? Battling with a middle-of-the-road GPA? Or succeeded in all of your academic endeavors, and not sure what to emphasize?
If you are 2 years away from graduation or 20 years out, consulting firms care about your educational experience and performance – including research, study abroad, and test scores. We emphasize the parts they need to see and the rest fades into the background.
Work Experience
Whether you summered at Goldman or led private camping trips on a ranch in Aspen, your experience is your experience. But with limited real estate, what do you include?
We can’t rewrite your past, but we can rewrite your story. Because consulting firms require you to jump in on diverse projects and use both analytical and interpersonal skills, everything is relevant. However, everything is not equal – and we help you navigate that very fine line.
Leadership
Whether you realize it or not, you’ve led someone or something – built budgets, inspired people, directed projects.
Consulting firms consider this your “third dimension” – the special something that makes you successful in a highly relational role. We help decide if you should have a separate Leadership section or not – and help you put the right words in the right places to make you stand out.
Personal
Why do consulting firms care if you play the banjo? Speak Portuguese? Code using PHP? Although it doesn’t always tie directly into your job performance, smart people can be boring – this is how they make sure you’re the type of person they want to be with 12 hours a day.
For many clients, we add a Personal section. For the rest, we reorder, rewrite, and reshape the content so you sparkle when faced with the 1-second “I’d like to get to know you” check.
My docs look great, completely transformed! Thank you all for your efforts.

Our standard total turnaround is 8-10 days (3-4 business days to complete our 1st editing round, time for you to incorporate your feedback and 3-4 business days to complete the final edit). We can accommodate a shorter turnaround if needed. Expedited 48-hour turnaround, even over the weekend, costs an extra $100 and can be added to your package at checkout. The extra fee is only charged once, even if you order both the resume and cover letter services.
Absolutely! We love to work with you for total success, and our most impressive applicants work with us on all parts of the process – from networking to editing through to interview prep. If you want a discount, select our Consulting Jet Pack or Black Belt Deluxe packages – the discounts get deeper the more you invest.
We’re glad you asked. Lisa Bright, former McKinsey consultant and interview coach here at Management Consulted, manages the entire editing process. She’s responsible for rewriting your cover letters, perfecting your resumes, and working with you over the phone if you select a package that includes phone service. She is one of the BEST in the industry – insightful, articulate and even funny. She works with you to create a highly personalized resume and cover letter.
You bet you can! You have 30 days from the day you purchase your package to upgrade. Upgrade from basic resume or cover letter editing to Consulting Job Hunt, or from Consulting Job Hunt to the Jet Pack or Black Belt Deluxe packages.
To speak to one of our experts, select our Consulting Job Hunt package – it’s the most popular because you get the best results when you’re able to enrich the process with personal narrative. You can use the 1/2 hour of included coaching time (1 30-minute slot to use before or during the process) to speak to any coach about your documents. We do also provide basic resume and cover letter editing, but those are email-only.
You can, but we don’t recommend it. We become masters of your story, and working with both together is optimal – why make a perfect cover letter when your resume won’t pass? Why invest in your resume when your cover letter will get you tossed? And why do them at different times, when we could draw from insights across both?
Good question! We work with ~600 editing clients each year – some on just resumes or cover letters, but most on both. This makes us the perfect size – we are experts across geographies and different industry verticals (from strategy to technology and beyond), but not a factory. Your resume gets highly personalized attention, and our clients are regularly blown away by the overhaul we provide.
We edit 1000+ documents every year and review hundreds more through our on-site bootcamps. We draw on rich insights from the insider resume review processes at the most competitive firms (like McKinsey and Bain) but do understand what Deloitte, Accenture, and 120+ boutiques are also looking for. In short, yes, we do. We’re really, really good.
Definitely. We work to build a best-practice resume you can use for every professional application you do – investment banking, corporate strategy, and even accounting. Who has time to make 20 different resume versions? The only things these won’t be perfect for are non-professional roles, like working in a restaurant or a creative industry like photography.
We can! We travel all over the world for our Consulting Bootcamps, and we meet you everywhere! We work with U.S. students who apply abroad, professionals in the U.K. that want to work in Asia, and literally every combination of “where you are” and “where you want to be.” We understand that expectations, while quite similar across firms regardless of geography, are nuanced based on your years of work experience and the region you are applying in.
First of all, it’s important to know that our work is highly respected in the industry, and firms regularly refer clients to us – they want to see your best presentation. That being said, we work really hard to make sure your resume is not the same as the next guys. We’re not a resume factory; we’re a premium, personalized service. We use 12 of our own templates and the ones you send us too, and every resume and cover letter is different.
First, we provide EDITS – not reviews. We do the work for you instead of telling you what you should do. Second, we provide 2 rounds of edits – we work with you and incorporate your insights, feedback and data in between rounds. Finally, we focus on your story – we don’t cram you into a mould, but make you stand out on your own personal merits. And if that’s not enough…read our testimonials. They are all unprompted – clients are thrilled with our services, and we grow through both organic requests and a giant mountain of referrals every year.
Editing services are non-refundable, but they also never expire. In addition, you can transfer or sell unused services to another aspiring applicant.
