Be confident of your experience and how you can add value to the firm. Let THEM sell you on “why BCG” - we are in an era of talent scarcity and jobs surplus. Ask them “why you should join BCG? What onboarding programs do they have to ensure successful onboarding? What career development opportunities will they facilitate?”

Be able to speak to your experience and what you will bring, plus what you want to learn. Be clear on “why BCG,” and “why consulting.”

Hello Everyone,

I am in search of a Project Manager role. I have about 4 + years experience managing projects and in consulting.

I am about concluding the google certificate in project management, and one unique think I bring into any team is my strategic thinking and ability to solve problems in record time.

I am based in Canada and a remote role will be great.

I anticipate your responses and recommendations thank you very much.

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.

Recruiter rant:
It constantly amazes me how non-responsive recruiters can be. Countless times I’ve reached out to recruiters on LinkedIn and gotten zero response, and then the hiring manager responds within a day.
