It's been awhile, but with consulting I applied to 3 firms online and all called back. Everywhere else before that was hit or miss, not the highest rate. That's why monster is great, if u apply to one they immediately send u 10 more jobs jus like it, and u can apply to all 10 in one click. Nowadays Id be pickier and apply to companies that offered growth and what I was interested in

Also, make sure your skills match what's on the req

Apply where? Any tips - I've heard that direct online applications are not received well.

Seriously? Well that's how I've got this job. I always check job boards just to see what's out there, and apply directly to the company. Also, monster is a great resource to apply and have recruiters find you.

Sorry I meant, when you're ready, apply directly to the company.

A1, what was the success rate of getting calls back? I applied to a few and haven't heard back

I was referred to McKinsey last month but haven’t heard back yet. The system still say “submitted”. Obviously things are slow with the holidays and recruiters don’t reach out to new people for a bit. But my question is: how quick is the McKinsey recruiting process? My firm now can’t get enough people in the door to fill projects. Is McKinsey still getting/retaining employees that recruiting is business-as-usual or are the scaling back/up?
