Killer Consulting Resumes! - The Wetfeet Insider Guide (Electronic book text, 2004 e.)

This Insider Guide is designed to help you do the best possible job of presenting your qualifications for a consulting position. Although it won't land you a job at a prestigious firm-there's a lot more to getting a job offer than sending in a resume-it should give you insight into how the resume review process works, and what firms are seeking. At the very least it should help you avoid the cardinal sin of selling yourself short. While there are countless resume-writing guides on the market, we have yet to discover any that are geared specifically toward management consulting. This publication is an exception. It is designed to help college and graduate students (or anyone else pondering a career in consulting) present themselves in the best possible light to recruiters, resume readers and interviewers from the top management consulting firms in the United States.
