5 Secrets To Surviving Your First Consulting Job

… do so many people quit, burn out, or end up in the dreaded “out” pool of their firm’s “up or out” policies? What causes them to underperform after the hiring process said they were capable? There are two main reasons: Many folks just don’t make the turn from brilliant analyst to brilliant consultant.

… under pressure or when lacking motivation, you'll be in a good position to succeed at TOMS. You should also have a handful of hero stories ready to bedazzle your interviewer; times you’ve exercised exquisite skills that would make you a killer employee, times in which you've acted brilliantly and with integrity in difficulty in circumstance and stories that highlight your exception communication skills.

Top 5 Consulting Resume Mistakes by Ph.Ds, Postdocs, and Other Advanced Degree Holders

… and lawyers have this plight. You're working "with" people - but really more alongside them. You aren't on a team together - just in the same office. While being around people in and of itself is good, and working well independently is good, neither is good enough. Being the brilliant loner just won't cut it in consulting. Consultants hunt in packs - that's just the way it is, and top firms only hire individuals who can demonstrate they know how to be team players.

Business Book Review - The E-myth
