Hi! I have a friend that’s looking to get into consulting/business analyst work but they CANNOT GET HIRED. Can anyone take a look at their resume and let me know what’s missing? I’ve been trying to help them for the last year and a half now.

More on the point of numbers. It’s much more believable and tells a story if you have quantitative values for each bullet. For example: “managed a portfolio of over 30 clients totaling $60 million in revenue generation during the first 2 years as AE” sounds way better than managed a portfolio of clients

Too many short term jobs.

I mean…you asked. Don’t ask questions you don’t want to know the answer to

Executive summary? More keywords?

This is not a very good resume template🙏🏼

DM me and I can share my mine.

a. Missing achievements, this is only highlighting roles and responsibilities
b. Need to make it shorter for 1 page
c. Keyword template required for consulting

I can feel there would be more comments but not going to strain my eye looking at a pixelated image.

Plus, the person has relevant experience and entry level BA or consulting jobs should not be difficult, just need to re-brand and package it in a way its easy to consume for a HM.

What type of positions are they applying to? With this resume would never consider anything beyond entry level/new grad.

Entry level management consultant or business analyst

Add in a section for accomplishments for each role. Make the accomplishments specific and measurable.

- Use color/creative yet professional design
- Create section for hard skills and soft skills
- Use bullet points

I have two offers in hand. KPMG and Deloitte. CTC is almost same whereas variable is more in KPMG. I am inclined towards Deloitte India. But HR in KPMG told me that I won't be able to join KPMG India in future as I accepted their offer. I informed her within 2 weeks and didn't do anything for onboarding. I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify
