What can I do outside the office to boost my resume and be a substantially more attractive candidate for top consulting firms in ~12 months time. Working in disputes and valuation role but want to go into management consulting next year (post MBA role). I feel like my job isn’t enough because skills aren’t considered as transferable outside this field.

Didn’t quite work out through campus recruiting. Only interviewed with Mck for FT and didn’t make it.

Can you apply your skills to support non-profits on the side? Not necessarily typical volunteer work, but more so pro-bono consulting.

I’d really focus your extracurriculars on things you actually enjoy doing/care about - even if it’s something like what I said above. Work is endless and there’s no point taking more on outside of your job if you don’t value it personally for the sake of getting into a top tier firm. At the very least, it’s much harder to fake enthusiasm in an interview if this isn’t the case
