I applied to a few roles at the same time during career fair season but not all were consulting. Ended up having to choose between two consulting offers. It was actually fairly easy to get into.

2, but i put in a lot of effort in those two and had a professional party review my cv for these two roles. Id recommend to also select a few you’re very interested in and spend some extra time on it, so you can tailor it to the job a bit better.

Does this happen to anyone else ?
