Hello
I am looking for opportunities in the Middle East (Dubai), Australia, North America, Europe, or Africa,
What are the key reach outs to do besides internal network/alumn for an MBB consultant profile (2 years exp.)
1) Are there any generalized or specialized recruitment firms I should think about ? (e.g., Michael Page or MoveMeOn)
2) are there any websites to look for job postings effectively (e.g., linkedin)
Thanks in advance for your guidance !
Hi there,
Seek, Monster, Google Job Search, LinkedIn, etc. are all great resources for finding job postings.
I would recommend specialized recruiting, but, ultimately, networking effectively is the best way to find opportunities that are best suited for you. My advice for effective networking is as follows:
a) Reach out to people in your network
b) Reach out to people once removed from your network
c) Reach out to people with a similar backgorund to you (i.e. same alma mater, same historically underrepresented demographic i.e. gender, orientation, ethnicity, etc., same career switch, etc.)
d) Tailor a message to them specifically both showing interest in them and their journey and demonstrating that you have done your research and could be a valuable hire
e) Play "tag" across calls you get so that you can work your way towards the company/office/role you want
f) Never directly ask for a referral, but "hint" at needing one (this is nuanced and important...happy to talk through wording)
Hi,
So, you are basically hunting for a job in pretty much the whole world. With the geographies you are targetting there isnt a single source that covers it all. With 2 yrs of experience you are not particularly the most attractive candidate for recruitment firms outside of the local countries.
All the best!
