Hi all; I’m looking to move into a big 4 advisory position from industry…what kind of resume length is best? Some people swear by the one-pager, but others say more detail is key. Keen to know anyone’s thoughts…

Keep your resume to one page. Tailor the dot points to be the most relevant experiences at each of your previous roles for the role you are applying to.

like

Best practice is still one page. You want to curate the most relevant experiences. For example, now that I’m a senior manager in industry, I’ll likely consolidate my pre-MBA into a high-level consulting progression and focus on my post-MBA experiences since my post-MBA experiences are more relevant now for the roles I would be applying to.

1-2 pages.

I had 2 page but in USA n for 16 years exp.

Length between 1-2 pages is fine. When I review I’m really looking for relevancy and quality of skills/experience.

Depends how experienced you are. If you’re in first 5 years of your career anything over a page is overkill. If you’re more senior then potentially you need more room for your deal list and experience

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

I joined pwc last month, and absolutely hating it here. Each weekend has been working, 12-15 hours work day is minimum expectation. And there's extreme hierarchy, where even after you spend 24 hours working on something, the director decides he wants something completely different and you delete and restart. (Note that you request them to review and give their pov earlier on, but they never take the time out)
