Are you interested in a career in consulting? If so, it's important to know that there are a number of consulting firms that recruit UM students and they visit campus early in the fall.
What does this mean for you? If you are a senior it means you need to activate and use your Career Center Connector (C3) account on a regular basis:
• Check the Workshops and Employer Events tab for information sessions/employer presentations. They are often the first 2-3 weeks of fall semester and are a great first step for connecting with firms.
• Review resume submission deadlines outlined in C3. Submiting resumes to the organizations is the first step in trying to schedule an interview.
• Check the list of organizations attending our Fall Career Expo
• Prepare...and prepare some more! Consulting interviews are notoriously competitive and you need to be prepared to present your story during behavioral and case study interviews.
Are you a junior, sophomore or 1st year student considering consulting?
• Log into your C3 account and check the Workshops and Employer Events tab for information sessions/employer presentations. These sessions will give you a real sense of what it means to be a consultant
