But... You're a director of business development?
That’s not consulting…
Hired straight from Bass Pro Shops as a junior analyst over 10 years ago. Coworker had a buddy in DoD who referred me to a small company who was a sub on a large contract. Just need some entry level certs and be clearable (if applicable).
Lol Kevin what are you talking about - thousands of college and MBA students are hired to be consultants every year, most of whom have no to very little work experience. Until you reach senior levels, consulting isn’t about having expertise - it’s about knowing how to ask the right questions, find the answer by talking to actual experts, and synthesizing their expertise into digestible materials.
To the OP - best way to do it is go to a T50 college or T15 MBA.
Or just an MBA period. Top 15 doesn't mean as much nowadays since the ivy leagues have so far toward woke ideology
M what field are you looking to work in?
Sales Strategy & Marketing is my background.
It’s hard to dub yourself as a consultant, especially at a younger age. Most people see “Consultants” as experts in their fields. So my advice is have a portfolio and case studies developed to show you know what you are doing and can prove it. Next I’d recommend finding an opportunity to consult at a friend or colleagues business. You can also work through agencies as a consultant to connect you with opportunities, but they too will need evidence you know what you are doing.
