Hi everyone, I’m an ambitious student who is trying to get a first job at MBB in Western-Europe region. I already got accepted in a BCG business course (60 students selected out of 1200 applications) and done my first round of interviews. I want to apply for a Mckinsey business course as well. Now I’m wondering if I should add on my CV for the Mckinsey application that I did a BCG business course already? (Ps: I have some board experience at my university and an internship in banking on my CV)

On the one hand it shows I already got selected by one of their main competitors (who also uses strict selection procedure) for their second round interviews. On the other hand it is their competitor which might not work in my favour if I put that on my CV (they might not want to invest their time in me if I already did a BCG business course). I appreciate any feedback :)

Hello All!

I currently work as a contracted Operations Manager but I’m in need of something a little more sufficient as far as salary. I have experience in Management both restaurant, healthcare, and I suppose this particular position counts too I just don’t know how to specify it. I really want to get out of the 35-40k salary range and I have the experience to do it just not the degree. I think I suck at interviews too (I get really nervous and start doubting myself). Any tips or suggestions?

Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.
