What Should Be In A Management Consultants CV?

Management consultants always deal with the toughest of business situations and must have a strong CV. Before applying in a big consultancy firm like Bain, BCG or Mckinsey you must always have a resume that speaks for yourself. If candidates are having well furnished CV, there is much probability that they have crossed half way of the interview and rest half depends on their presentation skills.  If candidates are fresher then they must emphasize on their management skills, on the other hand if they are experienced then they must highlight their recognitions and achievements. Some of the leading management consulting firms look for five key elements in the resumes during the case intervi ews they are;  management degree from a reputed B-school or university, excellent academic record throughout, very strong analytical skills, evidence of leadership skills, excellent communication skills, extracurricular activities and details of the any specific projects taken during the internships.

These are some of the very essential things which makes a  management consultant cv  somewhat delightful for the interviewer, but still it is not that capable to stand out from other similar resumes. To have your resume stand out from other resumes, there must be some more additional things in resume. This is the most neglected thing by the candidates while perusing management studies. Proficiency in the language is the key of a successful candidate, knowledge of an additional language is always welcomed by the consultancies. They want their employee native to at least one international language other than English. This small thing can make a lot of difference in cracking the case interviews.

Other things, which can make you stand out is the reference of a person who works in that particular consultancy where you are applying. The entire big consultancies always prefer candidates referred from their own employees, rather searching them in open market. It is not necessarily that everyone knows someone who works in a consultancy, but a lot of networking can help you to find a suitable reference which will make your way easy.
