Can you suggest certifications to strengthen profile for consulting?
Übersicht der Antworten
Hi,
Hi, it's less about certificates, but more about various achievements and other factors:
- University brand
- Internships you had before
- Extracurricular activities:
- Launching your own venture and entrepreneurial activities (even failing them is fine)
- Grants / scholarships - even better if related to some research or entrepreneurial projects
- Projects for companies - you may consider doing a free project for the company or a startup or writing a case that future grads will use
- Volunteer / social activities. I would aim at the activities where you can have a leadership role. Organizing some club may work as well.
- Case Competitions-especially the ones organized by your target company
- Researches / articles published in well-known sources
4. Career moves so far:
- Brand of the company
- Career growth and achievements
- Postgraduate extracurricular activities
Best,
What kind of consulting are you talking about? Assuming strategy... Graduate education (MBA, JD, PhD) + MBB. Cerfitications are meaningless in this field of work.
If now you are talking about specific consulting, things are different. A CFA or CPA would obviously have value for banking / investment / ... consulting; an MD would be valuable for Healthcase. These aren't certifications however. Perhaps IT cerfitifications for an IT company? In general though, I view certifications as degree-lite programs -> short amount of time invested in getting that piece of paper, and low value. Your best bet is still a long list of happy clients.
I am a PhD STEM student and I did a certificate in Business Management (240hrs) with a finance specialization at my schools Extension school at night. Really helped me with business concepts and firms** liked it becuase it showed my long-standing interest in business.
**Got an MBB offer
