Getting a Management Consulting Job 2.0
IvyExec.com, an online executive recruiting portal for exceptional candidates, has a few pieces of advice for candidates looking to move into Management Consulting.
New York, NY, August 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- “We’re seeing more demand for consultants who have tangible industry experience. Candidates who come with substantial relationships and prior work experience that can start to affect clients immediately are key,” says Elena Bajic, CEO of IvyExec.com. The number of Ivy Exec’s job postings in management consulting have increased dramatically over the past few months, with three leading firms signing up for their services in recent weeks. Overall demand has clearly shifted, and experienced consultants with industry experience are leading the pack.
A key takeaway for candidates? Mind your resume.
“In this environment, candidates cannot simply rely on an attractive design and great school names to separate their resumes from the pack,” says Jennifer Jackson, who often runs free demonstrations for employers. She continues, “I use the suggested search terms from clients themselves, and am impressed by the elaborate strings we use. Recruiters know there are really outstanding candidates within their niches, and management consultancies are looking for super-stars.”
“I tell candidates to ensure they’ve provided a clear, concise resume with optimized and strategic keywords and industry language. Don’t give a just job description without showing the impact your accomplishment had. If you are available for project work, put “project” in your executive summary,” says Meredith LeNoir, Ivy Exec’s Marketing Manager and director of Ivy Exec’s Resume Review programs.
How can a professional move into roles in consulting? Ivy Exec employees are in agreement: Focus on experience and skills. Elena Bajic, the CEO of Ivy Exec says it plainly. “Being an intelligent, results-oriented, strategic thinker is not enough. Right now, employers want to know: do you have experience in pharmaceutical operations? Can you lead turnaround strategy for a semi-conductor manufacturer? Specific. Measurable. Results. ”
Final advice from Ivy Exec to jobseekers: “The difference between a great consulting resume and an unimpressive one is the difference between your next opportunity and waiting.”
