Hello everyone, I am applying to consulting internships for the first time. I was wondering if anyone can kindly take a look at my CV and cover letter, and give me some insightful suggestions/comments. Thank you in advance.

For my background, I am a medical graduate (M.B.B.S) currently studying Masters in management in a Business School. I am mostly targeting tier 2 consulting firms focused on life sciences/healthcare.

Hello,

Most of the coaches are very busy and won't provide a very detailed feedback (at least that was my experience). I don't know how much you know about CV editing for consulting, but here are some of the articles that I found helpful as they go into a lot of details.

  • https://www.myconsultingcoach.com/consulting-resume#download-our-consulting-resume-template
  • https://igotanoffer.com/pages/consulting-resume#top
  • https://mconsultingprep.com/ultimate-management-consulting-cv-guide-example/

In case you didn't read them already, they will be very useful to you. :)

I believe most coaches understand that minor changes to your resume won't have a big impact if it's already more or less ok. Things that really matter - your career path and referrals. Resume is not a magic pill. You can endlessly polish your bullets, but unfortunately it does not help that much. Same with cover letters - most of them are never read.
