Hi all,
I am a business PhD degree holder in a QS top 30 university in the UK.
I have extensive teaching, researching, communicating, and pitching experience, however, no consulting experience from any big names. I have done some part-time consulting for a local business and achived some good results. But my experience didn't help me get any interviews last recruitment cycle. I have tried 15 companies, both tier 1 and 2, and some boutique ones.
I'd like to ask for some advice on getting into this industry, as the job title I can apply for now are entry-level or associate consultant, which is entrylevel +1.
What should I focus on emphasising? I am aware that case practice is a very important part of it but I'd like to at least get some interview opportunities.
Many thanks!
