Why should I buy it?

Lets face it, breaking in to consulting is downright difficult. You are competing against thousands of supremely qualified candidates, and need some way to stand out. On top of that, you only have one chance to impress. If rejected, most firms make you wait 18 months before giving you the chance to reapply.

In fact, every year consulting firms only hire 3% of applicants. How do you get yourself in to this 3%? Make the most of every opportunity to stand out.

The Consulting Resume and Cover Letter Bootcamp – Online is the best way to effectively prepare to land an interview and take that first step to the job of your dreams. If you want to be trained and equipped by consultants who have hired at McKinsey and Bain, then this is the bootcamp for you.

Nowhere else do you get a comprehensive breakdown of resume and cover letter construction, step-by-step guidance as you build your own, and tips to tailor your resume and cover letter for exactly the position and firm you’re applying for – all from experts who know exactly what your target firms expect and look for.

When should I buy?

Buy it now! For a limited time, you receive lifetime access for one low price. It is never too early to start preparing your resume and cover letter for submission. In fact, while you can prepare in as little as 1 week, we recommend that you start preparing your materials a full 3 months in advance before you apply.

As you might remember, you and your team helped me with a cover letter and a CV for an application to BCG some time ago. I realized that during those hectic days I never took the time to get back to you after the final edits to the cover letter. Apart from hereby thanking you for the help, I thought I would share some good news with you; After a long process with in total 13 (!) interviews I managed to secure offers from both BCG and Oliver Wyman. Without a doubt, your advice on how to improve the CV and create a cover letter that really stood out was pivotal to this success. Thanks once again!

Kevin, Experienced Hire

I can’t thank you enough for the excellent advice you provided on my resume and cover letter last April. With your help, I was able to secure interviews at all three MBB firms (the only places I applied), even from a very unusual PhD background in the humanities. In the end I accepted an offer from BCG Chicago.

I’m happy to write you a testimonial. It’s not what I’d usually do but after spending several hours over the course of a week working with you on my CV, it was the least I could do. Not only did you cut [my CV] from 3 pages to a page, I don’t feel like too much was left out. I was surprisingly comfortable with the result, and think it…focused attention on important parts....

Justine, PhD student who broke into consulting

"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 might as well just send you terrible resumes whenever I'm down, therapists charge enough..."

Charlie, Oliver Wyman consultant

Thank you so much! I appreciate your team's work on this-- it looks fantastic.

Rachel, MBA candidate

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

Many thanks for your assistance in completing this. It certainly does look transformed and forced me to quantify some accomplishments. I really valued your combined input.

As you may recall the last time we spoke I was in need of your services to put the resume you prepared for me last year in the Deloitte format which is required for each employees internal profile. Of course shortly thereafter various areas of the firm changed the policy in outside of a few minor adjustments I posted the resume you created for me. Since then I have received several internal emails from people commenting on the quality of my resume...... Needless to say your name is spreading through the firms word of mouth network which we all stay closely liked to.

PhD candidate applying for MBB

"I’m happy to write you a testimonial. It’s not what I’d usually do but after spending several hours over the course of a week working with you on my CV, it was the least I could do. Not only did you cut [my CV] from 3 pages to a page, I don’t feel like too much was left out. I was surprisingly comfortable with the result, and think it…focused attention on important parts. In addition, you rewrote a surprising amount of stuff. I feel like it reads well, and I’ve been showing it around to people in my department. After submitting it to more than 15 firms through [graduate] recruiting, I got 4 interview offers coming up in the next week."

The resume and cover letter now look much better than when we started. I don't think I could have ever done this by myself. I appreciate all your help in editing the documents. They will be valuable not only to this particular application, but also to my job searching effort in the future.

Rose, University of Texas PhD

My resume looks amazing!! Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Northwestern undergrad

Thank you so much for the edits! Really like the final output!

MBA & former McKinsey consultant trying to break back into MBB

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

Lei

First, I want to thank you for all your hard work. I think you did an amazing job on editing my resume. I didn’t think there was still so much to write about, and I began to understand why I could not pass the screening before.

Graduate student, Warwick Business School (UK)

"Thank you so much. I'm looking at my resume and all I can say is damn you're good! It's less cluttered, straight forward and concise. How do you do that? You're awesome. Now, I'm going to work on the cover letter. Thanks a bunch."

Impressive!! Thank you very much. The improvements are fantastic! Really great job.

E-Commerce Business Analyst, Italy

I just wanted to let you know I got several offers with the edited resume and ending up doing a lateral to BCG as a Principal.

Thank you for the great edits!

Thanks so much for redoing my resume - it looks so crisp now!

PhD applying for MBB

This resume looks transformed indeed. Thank you everyone. Happy holidays to you and your team, the content is great and the service too.

Experienced hire in Paris

I'd like to thank you and the MC team for the amazing feedback and turnaround time for my cover letter - even the extra touch with my resume! You didn't have to go above and beyond and revise my resume and I sincerely appreciate it. I also know that there is typically a 3-4 day turnaround time for these documents and after seeing how booked my coach was with appointments, I am forever thankful for the Management Consulted team for going out of your way to help us all out. You guys are the best!

Jason, Babson College

The sessions that I did, along with your resume edit, were extremely helpful in landing the Deloitte position.

Experienced hire who landed Deloitte offer

Thanks so much for your team’s work :)

Kate, Strategy Consultant

Thanks to your help on my resume I have moved into a new role in Strategic Marketing at Solvay (the role I really wanted) and am quite enjoying myself.

Preeti, Experienced Hire

The resume edit was the single best thing I did to prepare for both recruiting processes (I did both finance and consulting summer recruiting this year). I got interviews almost everywhere.... I probably wouldn’t have gotten the Goldman internship without your resume editing help either. Thanks for making me look like the competitive candidate I knew I could be!

A junior at Stanford

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

Thank you very much for these edits. I am confident that I am a competitive candidate as a result of your help.

Experienced Hire, The World Bank

Thank you so much for everything. It’s been incredible to see how my experiences that I thought lacked the quantitative skills transform into a resume/CL that highlights my analytical abilities.

Hannah, Cornell

I connected with a Project Leader at BCG and she liked the resume MC made for me. She gave me a referral!

PhD candidate who landed BCG referral

Awesome, thank you so much! It looks great.

Technical Writer transitioning to consulting

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.

Anon

I used your cover letter for my Spring Internship applications, and am happy to report that up until now I already got 8 interview invitations out of it. Again, I cannot thank you enough.

Sarah

These look amazing. Thanks for the incredible job.

Aaron, Yale SOM

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.

Amit

After the resume and cover letter edit rounds that you were immensely helpful with, I finally got a 1^st interview led case round with Deloitte M&A team as a Manager specifically focused on Tech M&A.

Harry, received Deloitte M&A Manager interview after resume edit

Thank you very much for the great resume and cover letter. It has been and will continue to be a pleasure to work with MC professionals.

Thank you Jenny, Your insights have made a significant positive difference in both the resume and cover letter. Thank you again, I was initially skeptical to use this service but it was definitely worth it :)

Arijit

Thank you so much for your edits. I knew it was money well spent: It looks fantastic.

Charlie, Top 10 MBA program applicant

Good news in some sense is that I reached out to Bain's global recruiting team about the status of my application since their response time has been over six weeks. The first office listed on my cover letter was [city], and the head [city] office recruiter emailed me back about my decision coming next week. This means I got past the AI check and landed at the first office I selected for review!

PhD candidate targeting MBB

Once again, thank you for the feedback on my resume and cover letter. I appreciate how you and your team did a better job of telling my whole story instead of focusing solely on my work experience at GE.

Sunil, an engineer hoping to break into management consulting

"I used your cover letter for my Spring Internship applications, and am happy to report that up until now I already got 8 interview invitations out of it. Again, I cannot thank you enough."

Thank you for the final edits of the resume and cover letter. They are amazing!!!

McGill PhD

I wanted to follow up and thank you for your services. Though I was from a non-target school, I had multiple interviews and landed at Accenture Strategy as a Senior Strategy Consultant. I appreciated your service and perspective. Keep up the awesome work!

Accenture Strategy Senior Consultant

This looks excellent, and I feel I am ready for applying.

INSEAD MBA

Once again, I'm absolutely blown away. It's actually amazing how you guys are able to craft the same story with such an increased punch!

MBA with Oil & Gas background

Many thanks for your assistance in completing the resume. It certainly does look transformed and forced me to quantify some accomplishments. I really valued your combined input!

James, MBA/Experienced Hire Candidate

I am so thrilled with the work that you completed on my resume and I wanted to thank you for the great input!

Jeremy, UCLA MBA

Excellent work as always! Love the final versions. Thanks a lot!

Google Sr Manager

"I realized that I couldn't thank you for all your kind help. You've really made my CV look much professional and helped me see what information I should highlight and how."

Like you said, the first edit was like taking an axe to the resume and separating chunks of information while the second edit was like taking a scalpel and cutting into the specifics of each and every line. That was what I found most helpful — because I never felt too overwhelmed with information on what I have to fix."

"I have used your cover letter and and resume editing this time last year. It helped me get to the door of McKinsey and Oliver Wyman (both for Dubai), and Accenture (UK), so thank you for that. I ended up doing an internship with PwC London within Cyber Security consulting, and got a return offer."

Asher

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

Thank you very much for doing a great job of creating a valuable story from a mess of anecdotes! I did not know that I was such a good future consultant! Honestly, I was almost desperate about my resume before I contacted you, but now it's perfect.

Ellie

"The first edit looks awesome. The transformation from my sleep deprived , alcohol induced ramblings to a professional cover letter is phenomenal. I look forward to the second round of edits."

Was a pleasure partnering with the MC team for my Resume and Cover Letter! Pleased with the output.

Shruti, Syracuse

Thank you for the swift turnaround, it is much appreciated! I am very happy with how both the CV and Cover Letter look, I spoke to a McKinsey consultant this morning and he told me that the CV was better than the Wharton and Columbia MBA grads he was scheduled to interview this afternoon so thanks again!

Bradley

I appreciate the service you have provided with my resume and cover letter edits. I believe you guys did a phenomenal job. Almost every boutique firm has offered me an interview for internships and full-time roles as well as most of the major firms.

MBA & experienced candidate

"Now that I have had a chance to review your first round comments and edits in detail, I can see how incredibly valuable they are. Thank you for taking so much time to review my resume. I am really happy with the progress being made."

Paul

"This is amazing! I can't believe this!!!!! Thank you so much for your help and guidance!!!!"

Salman

Thank you once again for your help with my resume. It looks fantastic and, my parents and I are extremely happy with the layout and content.

I'm looking forward to the final round of edits - and you're definitely right - I finally feel like my resume is finally coming alive!

Deloitte Consulting Business Analyst

With your help, I landed interviews with McKinsey and Bain, both the San Francisco offices. After working with Nuno on interview prep, I managed to get offers from both firms. Nuno was instrumental in both my prep as well as my decision making process. I ended up accepting the Bain offer and will be starting in San Francisco next summer! Thanks so much for your help with my resume and cover letter. And thank you for all the materials you put out, the coaching you set up, and the amazing company you have created. I wouldn't have made it without you guys!

We share how to learn about and tailor your approach to each firm inside the course.

No. Why? Our customers have confirmed that this is the way to go.

You can start preparing your resume and cover letter in less than 5 minutes! It would be great to have physical copies — but we feel the speed and flexibility of the online version is superior.

Sounds great!

To purchase this for your group or school, send us an e-mail at [email protected] and we will get you taken care of.

Absolutely not – this bootcamp is for you too. Why? Because the firms have higher expectations for you – and therefore your transition is harder, your explanations more nuanced, your experience more robust. In short, you need more help.

We work with folks just like you every day in our resume editing service, so we’ve crafted this bootcamp to address needs both of current students and current professionals.

Yes, absolutely! The guidelines and best practices for resumes and cover letters for consulting firms are nearly identical globally. When the requirements differ slightly between the U.S. and overseas, this bootcamp was created to address even these topics — covering cross-border issues throughout.

Approximately 40% of our customers are applying to overseas offices, so we share our international perspective. We have successfully advised clients in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, the U.K., Europe, MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa, Russia, India, SE Asia, China, Australia/New Zealand, etc.

That’s right – we cover the globe, and in the process consistently get rave reviews on the bootcamps that we offer.

Absolutely! Even at senior levels in the firm, you will still have to submit a resume and cover letter to apply. Now, firms may trust you more upfront, but you still must demonstrate excellence to get the job.

In fact, you need to be even more prepared – after all, if you’re hired, one day soon you will be interviewing candidates. You need to start out walking, talking and breathing like a top-tier consultant in order to get the chance to be one.

Thanks for asking – there are so many reasons we love and are proud of what we do!

At MC, you learn from the experts – not someone the experts have trained. We create the videos, give the Bootcamps, and write the books that are key tools to break into consulting. Lucky you – you get face time (and email access) directly with us.

If you’re looking at different options, here’s where we think other services come short:

Using a generic resume editing service just gives false confidence – the only way to really get an excellent resume is to build one with expert insight on what the top firms are looking for.
Generic services don’t explain how different consulting firms think. They don’t know what Bain thinks is a great cover letter versus a poor one, and the exact specifications that McKinsey or AT Kearney are looking for.
They charge very high prices without our level of attention to the details that matter (trust me, you’ll appreciate our focus on the little things).
They provide generic, unactionable feedback – with remarks such as “I really like that response” or “Your answer could be better. Perhaps tell a better story?” We give examples on how to make something better.
