Hi there,

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • First of all, the participants in McKinsey's edad program will normally be chosen based on the resume they submitted. As such, I would highly advise you to ensure that you submit a polished resume.
  • Moreover, recruiting events are normally treated separately. Thus, I would advise you not to worry about being banned from full-time applications.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare your resume, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there,

The most important thing you can control for this is your resume. Get as good a resume as you possibly can.

I don't believe the selection involves the case interview or online assessment (It *might* include an online assessment, but I don't think so).

Don't worry, you will not be banned from applying full time! In fact, it's quite the opposite: If you get in, it helps

Hi there,

From what I know, there's no assessment involved, and it comes down to having a great resume that ticks the right boxes.

You also won't be banned from applying for FT roles if you fail to be invited. These things are held quite separate.

If you need help with your resume, please let me know.

Best,
Moritz

Hi there, 

For Edad, the selection is based primarily on your CV. So make sure that it's in excellent shape and it stands out from the other applicants. 

The event is also non-evaluative, so it won't have a negative effect on any further applications to McKinsey. It's a great networking opportunity, however. 

Best,

Hello,

The application is usually based on your CV, and you can still apply for full-time positions if you are not selected! Polish your CV, and there's no real downside in applying. Best of luck!
