Reapplying with BCG

Hi there, 

as other says referral is useful if someone referring you knows you well, not just passing CV as the person get questions to see how well you know the person. 

I would mention it in the cover letter around you ambition to crack it this time and what all you have learned and progress. 

Good luck!

Hi Emery,

You need to try to get another referral. If you can, reach out to the previous referrers and see if they can still get you a referral (potentially through their contacts).

Make sure that it is clear you have put in a lot of work to improve your casing etc. since the last interview.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I would definitely address your verbal partner referral in your cover letter and re-emphasize it. One would like to think that all your information is collected centrally but you can't be sure - so why risk it?

I would also proactively mention that you have interviewed with them previously (that they will certainly have in their database anyway). You can highlight the feedback you were given in your interviews back then and showcase how you have been addressing those topics over the past years. 

You were invited to interviews in the past so your overall credentials seem to be sufficient for them. Now you added a few year of project management experience to your CV. Make sure you hightlight how that is highly relevant for a consulting career.

Another piece of advice: If you really want to end up in consulting, don't only apply to BCG. It is often a numbers game in terms of applications.

Best of luck

They know you interviewed before with them. This is not something you need to worry about. Nevertheless you should get a referral.

Hi there, 

First of all, if you've made it past the screening once, it's no guarantee that it will happen again. 

If I were you I'd make sure that the application documents are great - both CV and cover letter. 

Then, try and network to get a referral. Read THIS article I wrote on how to do this. 

Lastly, don't only apply to BCG. In this economic climate, it's best to diversify your risk as much as possible. 

Best,
Cristian
