Looking to break into consulting in an ultra-competitive recruiting environment - like the repressed economy we're in now?

In this episode, Drashti takes over the podcast to interview Jenny Rae who shares:

  • The current state of consulting hiring
  • Keys to breaking in in a down economy
  • How to overcome a lack of consulting experience
  • Tips to balance your resume for consulting applications
  • Common networking mistakes to avoid
  • And much more

The key takeaway?

Firms are still hiring and candidates who combine hard work with a smart strategy are much more likely to win.
