Hi,

I would also advise having a referral to increase your chances to be invited for an interview.

Hi,

Yes, you still have competition. But if you are doing your MBA, you can ask your classmates ex consultants for a referral

Dear A,

It's not mandatory, but referral will maximise your chances significantly. 

Best,
André

Hi there,

A referral can be a great instrument that helps you secure an interview invite.

However, it is not a 100% guarantee that you eventually get an offer because some points and effort must be given from your side as well.

The question is: How much do you really want to get the job? Of course, it is better to provide yourself with a referral for the targeted firm. Otherwise, you can not even get invited.
