McKinsey Global Connect

Hello!

This is something new that did not exist in my times, I am getting old :/.

As you can see in the page, it´s indeed a recruiting thing, like many other recruiting events or fairs they do to fish talent across the globe. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Dear A,

It looks like a recruiting event. Once you there - make a networking. 

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out. 

Best,
André

Hi there,

If you're in this program then congratulations! It's a first step in recruiting. How can you take advantage of this opportunity?

First, be prepared with the key interview questions

• Have an answer prepared for "Resume walkthrough", "Why Consulting", and "Why McKinsey", just in case

Second, prepare to make a good impression

• Networking events are hard, and virtual ones are even harder. Make sure you have good questions prepared and ask insightful ones to any of the speakers
• Ideally, they will have breakouts where you can get to know consultants at the firm...try to establish a bit of a connection with them

Third, leverage the event to get a referral

• If you seemed to make an impression on anyone at the event, follow-up! Say you found x and y interesting and were wondering if they might have some time to talk a bit more about z
• From that call you can employ the networking tactics we talk about at lot on the forum

Good luck :)
