Referred by an Associate Partner. Can I modify CV?

Hi,

1) Yes, nobody will cross-check

2) They will ask later, but you have time to prepare it

3) That's a bit strange but in some countries it works. It's not that you lack business experience, but you lack overall years of experience. Do you have a Master / PhD? Which Country?

1) Yes, always submit the strongest version of your resume.

2) No, you won't need a cover letter at any point. I didn't submit one and still got an offer.

3) The Junior Associate role can be for people with your level of education. Check with the recruiting team and see if people on LinkedIn in that role have a similar background. If the AP referred you for that role, trust they know about the right position for you. The recruiting team confirmed that when they sent you the link for that role and not a lower one.

Hello!

Congrats for that referral! That is for sure a great boost.

My thoughts:

1. No problem at all, none will notice -less him-

2. Totally agree, hahaha

3. I also believe this is too junior, and I would go with senior BA. Later on, once you are in the process, it could be adjusted. However, I am 99% sure that with 1.5 working experience at most you qualify for senior BA

Hope it helps!

Best,

Clara

Hi,

1. I think that is fine
2. It depends if there any requirement to upload cover letter in the link sent to you. If it is optional then I don't think that is critical
3. To be safe try to reach out to HR to discuss.

Best,

Hi there!
1) Yes, it will be better to modify it if it`s possible

2) I also agree that it is not the best idea to send it

3) Sometimes for the Junior Associate Role you can have your education level. It`s difficult to say without knowing your skills

Hi there,

1) Absolutely yes - send through your best one!

2) Definitely not - no need to send through a cover letter, both because he said not to and it's McKinsey

3) I would apply via his link. Then, I would reach out to HR to just double-check/confirm. Let them know that if they think you're not right for the JA role you're happy to be considered for the A role.
