Hello! ;)

This is good news, since HR is showing interest.

Most liketly is due to the fact that your friend referred you to his/her HR contacts, and they found it interesting. This is totally feaseable, indeed, I have referred multiple people as a McKinsey alumnus (more as alumnus than actually in my period working there!)

At this point, get back to full-prep mode and expect a round of interviews.

Best of luck,

Clara

Hey,

CV request from HR is typically the very first step of the referral process. As your friend has referred you to the role, HR must first review your CV to decide on the next steps of the process (usually whether the candidate suits the role requirements or not and subsequently, whether to interview or not).

So at this stage, simply polish your CV to best fit the role requirements and send it at the earliest. As you are aware of the current economic situation, hiring is on freeze at several firms. So I would recommend to not introduce any delay from your side in the recruitment.

Best wishes,

This is good news. I would do an intensive preparation as your chance now is the same as other candidate (they will consider your profile as a clean state application)

Nobody knows what is the impact of Covid-19 to the overall economy but I would still prepare since it is better to be ready when opportunity comes your way :)

Hey A,

This means you were referred by your friend to HR and they want to sceen your profile. They are interested in you which is good. However, they might still disselect you, if you are not meeting some criterias (top education/grades, relevant experience).

Anyway, the referral is a door opener, so your friend has done a great job for you to maximize your chances for an interview invite.

Now you need to fully focus on the preparation process as much as possible and practice-practice-practice as well get help from experienced guys.

last month my mentees got several offers in the Middle east from BCG, Strategy & (2 offers), Bain and RB.

happy to help you get yours ;)

Cheers,

André

Hi there,

HR will still have to screen your CV, so there is no specific guarantee this will necessarily turn to an interview, although it seems promising. Since the request was done directly by HR, I would expect a reply relatively quickly.

Best,

Hi there,

It it a good chance to get a first interview and pass the CV screening in a short time.

I suggest you make the application as best as possible and good luck!

All the best,
