McKinsey Online Application Issues

Hello there,

Great to hear your interest to join the Firm.

Kindly find below the answers to your inquiries:
1) I experienced similar issues back when I applied to McKinsey. I would suggest to try contacting the HR team of your target office. Try looking on them through LinkedIn as well as McKinsey sites. Let them know of this issue, and in case you're documents did not go through, you can submit it through them.

2) For this one, it is fine to say you are working up until the 1st date of the following month to the end of your employment, e.g. June 1st for employment ending at the end of May. The firm will refer back to your CV once you get ot the interview phase, hence the more important thing is to make sure the information presented in the CV is consistent.

Hope it helps and good luck.

Kind regards,
Nathan

Hi Anonymous,

please find below the answers to your questions:

1. I would try a different browser, if that doesn’t work, I would contact HR to explain the problem
2. You can definitely put the beginning of the month after the end of the period of your work experience

Best,

Francesco

Hi,
if you are missing something you should not be able to complete it. I recommend to send it and then verify everything is correct with HR. Do not worry about bothering them: they are there to help

Hello,

I recently applied to McK's YLP program and faced these exact issue. I emailed the recruitment office and was given a link to create a new profile. That solved the problem.

So creating a new account with a different trusted email will allow you to apply. My advice is to do the application in one sitting. For the first application, I noticed I got that problem when I did the application in several sittings.

Get all you need in a folder. Start a new application in a new application and do it in one sitting.

Since you hadn't submitted the old application, there will be no double submission.

Otherwise what you're experiencing now is due to the upgrades on their system which are quite unstable.

All the best! Hope this helps

Hi,

1) What do you mean by additional information? If it is not the CL - you can skip it

2) It's totally fine to use the 1st of the month
