How do you structure your resume with ~1.5- 2 YOE? Can you summarize whole projects in one bullet? Do you include practice development or business development support efforts? Does anyone know a a resource with banks of early career consultant résumé’s for reference?

Pick 2-3 major projects you worked on. Have those as heading bullets with sub bullets describing exactly what you did. Also underneath the job itself, have 2 bullets on your role generally before diving into the projects. Cut out everything from college i.e. clubs etc. only leave a single line for each of your internships

Hi can I receive this resume?

What worked for me as B4 to boutique to MBB:

Company - Location + YOE
2-3 bullets on client work
1-2 bullets on internal initiatives

Shorten bullets as necessary based on internships + work experience, believe my resume for MBB had 1-2 bullets for internships and 3-4 for full time employment.

At which point is it acceptable to break out a 2 page resume? 3.5 YOE here.

like

Never acceptable in the business world. Your resume is meant to be a pitch, not a comprehensive list of all experience.

Someone at 20 YOE interviewing for senior leadership should probably know how to prioritize and communicate succinctly.

like

One project per bullet point. It really depends on how much of the page you want to fill up.

I summarized each project into single bullet points that showed - impact, industry and project type.

But I did the above because I worked on several projects, which were short duration and different industries. And I wanted to showcase the variety as I wasn’t targeting a specific field/industry.

How do you incorporate stuff like master thesis research at an Ivy League institute? The practical experience might not be relevant, but dropping the name of Harvard/Yale, etc. if you are early in your career might help.
