I want to reach out to a guy at McKinsey that interviewed me a year ago and say I want to re-apply and ask for advice. Any tips on going about this?

Ok at least from BCG perspective, if you don't make it past first round it's rare you get invited to interview again. Usually we allow people to interview in a following year if they got to decision round. Not getting through first round means something key was missing - so you'd need a compelling reason to get another shot

Why were you unsuccessful? That's a start - you want to show you've progressed in that part and that gap is now filled!

Haha honestly, I thought the interview went fine, kind of surprised I wasn't moved to the second round. The recruiter never reached out to me again after several attempts of me reaching out to her.

Maybe work on your level of self awareness, OP. Obviously the interview didn't go fine, so what was the issue? It's not likely they'll tell you so try to figure it out.

Yep agree with bcger - this is kinda weird, maybe apply less directly.

Best phrasing? I honesty don't even know what I need help with...I guess what they could potentially be looking for?

There could've been a myriad of reasons for her not reaching out not related to your interview performance. Is this guy you want to reach out to in HR or an Associate/Manager?

Have you been in contact at all with him? Did you ask for feedback after the interview

Have not been in contact. He was I assume a manager level or above.

Manager within the practice id be working in.

What group? Maybe he's on FB? :)

BTO - Security

Yeah I've been thinking back, but still felt it ended on a high enough note. Anyways, I need to figure out how to phrase this message.

Haha define apply less directly?

Don't email a dude who only met you for 25 minutes a year ago, apply via LinkedIn or (best) get a referral submission.

You could also consider applying for a different division, eg McK digital whatever it is called. They are hiring a lot right now.

Yeah I was going to try both out. However, this one in particular sounded the most interesting to me.
