Building an excellent case framework. A partner I worked with on a couple engagements interviewed a candidate who framed the case so well and so comprehensively within 2-3 minutes that the partner ended the case and decided to extend an offer. Partner came and showed us the candidates framework and it was wildly impressive. This was of course in addition to a good interview.

Dont have the example but it was well structured in terms of areas the candidate wanted to cover (like 5 to 6 areas) by priority and each area had a list of 7 to 8 factors to consider. Whats impressive about this is how the candidate adapted the case to a whole host of business factors and walked through the reasoning of how it relates to addressing the business situation or helps achieve the goal.

So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase

Anyone available to review my resume/guide me through this job search? I’ve been applying places for the past 6 months and am not getting responses. Unemployment has run out and I’m starting to crumble under the pressure of bills. My experience the past 6yrs has been in smaller companies where my role was never just one thing but instead spread over multiple departments, so I’m struggling to narrow down how to convey the vast experience I do have.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
