Someone busy skimmed your profile and decided you were worth 30 minutes of their day. Do you really think they’re here to crack jokes? Expect sharp questions testing your fit, structure, and analytical thinking. Be prepared, or you’ll fumble. 2️⃣ A͟s͟k͟ ͟f͟o͟r͟ ͟t͟h͟e͟ ͟r͟e͟f͟e͟r͟r͟a͟͟l͟͟—͟y͟e͟s͟,͟ ͟a͟s͟k͟:͟
Feeling awkward? Get over it. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Drop the request confidently toward the end—consultants don’t have time for a sequel to this call. 3️⃣ F͟o͟l͟l͟o͟w͟ ͟u͟p͟ ͟l͟i͟k͟e͟ ͟y͟o͟u͟ ͟m͟e͟a͟n͟ ͟i͟t͟:͟
͟Silence after a week? Ping them! Politely, of course. If it’s a no, ask for feedback, fix the gaps, and come back stronger. What action will you take on your next call? 🚀 #Beingconsultant #Managementconsulting #Consultingcareers #networking #referrals #McKinsey #BCG #Bain
