Kevin Fongching asked on Jun 07, 2020

Hi, this is my first time applying to consulting jobs. I am wondering if anyone can kindly help take a look at my resume and cover letter, and give me some suggestions/comments? Thanks a lot!

Just some background about myself, I have a PhD in biomedical sciences and am mainly targeting firms that specialize in healthcare consulting, but will also apply to generalist firms like MBB. I am based in Singapore.

I want to be notified about updates regarding this question via email
