Hello guys! Hoping someone would like to help me out. I am currently not in consulting but looking to make entry. There is a posting for a consulting analyst position that I am interested in and am looking to apply.

I am just wondering if I can get some advice or best practices on how I can make myself stand out and get an interview.

Little bit about myself. I have completed B.Com from one of the leading business schools in Canada back in 2017 and currently work as multi unit store manager.

OP, reach out to some alums/peers from your b-school who are in consulting as a starting point. Do your research and have informed conversations. Do a lot of these. If you build a connection enough, that can serve as your in.
