Hi,
I am a boutique consultant (less than 2 YOE) applying for MBB/LEK in the UK.
As I am preparing to apply - I'd like to have an experienced person's perspective on my CV and any tweaks. I am happy to pay but ideally not something super expensive. I would really appreciate it if anyone could recommend decent websites/people that has helped themselves a lot during recruiting.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Hi Kitcha,
A manual review by someone with real experience is the most effective option, and in my opinion the one that adds the most value to a CV, since it optimizes the parts that actually get read. It is also the most expensive one. For transparency, I offer that service myself, so take my bias into account, but I still believe it gives you the best return on the investment.
The alternative is one of the many online platforms out there, which in my view have two limits: they do not optimize specifically for consulting, and their feedback is less deep and less specific than what an experienced person can give you.
As a general guideline, whichever route you take, your CV should bring out two things:
--> excellence, meaning some proof of above-average performance, ideally professional or academic
--> that you have developed the skills consulting requires across your different experiences
In my opinion these come before everything you can read online (e.g. quantifying impact and so on).
If you want something more specific to your situation, feel free to share your resume with me in DM, happy to help.
Best,
Franco
