Hi all!
I recently posted a question asking about how COVID would affect the recruitment process. I've messaged a few of you already who were happy to take a look at my resume. Some of you mentioned that referrals were important and its something I'm new too. I recently got into USC Marshall; however, because all resources have switched to an online format, there is no way to network face-to-face which I believe is the most solid way to gain connections.
With that being said, I mentioned before that my goal is to get into MBB Consulting. What is the best method to gain referrals when everything is online? How should I connect with USC Alum who works in MBB (if any professionals on this platform know of someone personal that comes to mind, I would love to connect with them)?
I have tried Linkedin and have messaged tons of people but have gotten little response back, so I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong. It seems difficult to find a mentor nowadays.
Thanks so much for your insights everyone!
