Hi Mana,

Q: I have been working on my CV and I am getting ready to submit it for the role Business Analysts at McKinsey & Co. I would like to get a final check on it before I do.

Many coaches offer a CV review as part of their coaching. You can check if there is an option for that on their profiles here.

For general CV suggestions, you can check this:

▶ How to Craft a Great CV for Consulting

The process I personally recommend during sessions is the following:

  1. You send your CV before the class
  2. We review it together during the class. I recommend the changes to do step by step
  3. You work on the recommended improvements after the class and adapt the doc accordingly
  4. You send back the CV. I review it and provide suggestions on anything needed more (no additional bookings needed)
  5. You review and change it accordingly
  6. If needed you send it back as long as needed (no follow-up limit)

All the steps are included in the initial booking, including the unlimited follow-ups.

#1 rated MBB & McKinsey Coach

Hi Jumanah,

Sure - happy to have a look. 

I've worked with countless candidates to help them pass MBB screening and McKinsey is what I specialise in. 

I can provide you with a template for the CV, a set of guidelines and sanitized CV examples of candidates of mine who have passed McKinsey screening. You can then use these to develop and refine your own CV and we can work back and forth with track changes to get to the ideal version. 

Feel free to reach out!

Best,
Cristian

Hi Mana,

Feel free to send it through to me! I'll do a quick review and give initial thoughts (obviously not the full deep-dive review, but a quick pass over).

Dear candidate,

 

Sure, feel free to send it, if you are intersted in a CV review.

A) important: do you present your own value proposition well enough, your skills and your interest or aptitude for consulting?

B) does outstanding, great performance or top innovator, top achiever come through enough?

C) do you overall use priority descriptions of achievements, right language and is it engaging enough?

 

Best regards
