The Recruiting Playbook: Writing Consulting Resume Bullet Points That Actually Get Interviews
Welcome to The Recruiting Playbook: Our weekly series where we discuss tactical strategies to get interview invites, referrals, and ultimately, offers.
==============================================
Most resume bullet points are empty calories.
They sound busy.
They sound impressive.
But they don’t prove impact.
In this episode, we break down how to write calorie-dense bullet points that signal consultant-level thinking:
• The difference between tasks and outcomes
• Why “responsible for” kills credibility
• The structure of a high-impact consulting bullet
• Quantifying results without exaggerating
• Turning student experience into strategic value
• How to show ownership, analysis, and decision-making
Consulting firms aren’t scanning for buzzwords.
They’re scanning for evidence of structured thinking, initiative, and measurable impact — in six seconds or less.
I’m Ian Glennon — ex-BCG consultant (8/8 interviews), 5,000+ coaching sessions delivered, and 500+ candidates guided to offers across MBB and Tier-2 firms.
