Hello -
I have a question about how cold networking would help? now that all events for consulting companies are virtual meeting people on campus is not an option so networking should be requested via cold emails And mostly it works (90% of the time I get a response and I get the call scheduled) , they are willing to set up 30 mins calls but the question is so what? we talk to consultants, ask about the company, the work, ask deep questions, but how is that going to help pushing the resume?
Unless someone knows a partner who might be a family friend or a friend with whom you went to school, it is close to impossible to ask them the one million $ question : can you refer me ?
I am not sure how this type of networking will help getting the resume selected for an interview.
What do you think ?
