Need help with CV and Cover letter :)

Hey there :)

Happy to help! The key is to make your CV look “consulting ready”: clean one-page format, clear sections (Education, Work Experience, Leadership/Other), and bullet points that highlight impact with numbers. For cover letters, it’s about a tight structure (why consulting, why the firm, why you).

If you already have a draft, best is to start by re-framing your bullets to show problem-solving, analytics, and leadership — that’s what recruiters scan for. Once the structure is set, it’s easy to adjust for different geographies (US prefers a bit more detail, UK/Europe lean concise).

If you’d like, share your rough draft and I can suggest how to polish and reframe the points into a consulting-style CV and CL.

best,
Alessa :)

Happy to review your resume to ensure it has the key words and showcasing your achievements' impact :) 

Hi there,

I’d be glad to help. I’ve supported many candidates pivoting into consulting, and a big part of my coaching is making sure CVs pass both human screening and AI-based applicant tracking systems. The process I use is:

1. Deep review of your draft – I’ll highlight what consulting recruiters look for and where AI screeners might block you.
2. Impact-driven rewrites – Together we’ll craft bullet points that quantify achievements, highlight leadership, and showcase structured problem-solving.
3. Geography-specific tailoring – I know the nuances between Europe, US, and Middle East applications, and can adapt your CV to fit.
4. Polished final version – By the end you’ll have a sharp CV that passes AI filters and catches recruiter attention.
5. Cover letter alignment – We’ll frame your story in a way that makes your pivot into consulting clear and convincing.

Happy to help you prep – feel free to reach out!

Best,

Evelina

Hi,

many coaches incl. myself offer this kind of service here on preplounge. 

Feel free to reach out to me with your current version of your CV for further discussion and we can take it from there. Very happy to help!

Best,

I am quite experienced regarding reviewing CV's and have a lot of (sanitized or public) examples I can share... Feel free to reach and schedule a coaching session (part of the work is done in the session, part outside the session), this is something that needs to be worked in detail.

Hi there,

this is a common service coaches on here offer. It's probably easiest if you check some coaching profiles you like and reach out to them for details.
