Tips for Finding a Job & Internship
- Recruiting timelines for finance and consulting are on accelerated timelines. You can expect to apply for an internship as early as a year in advance. Full-time hiring often will take place early in the fall prior to spring graduation. These organizations are active on campus, so pay attention to the events calendar and campus career fairs for opportunities to connect and apply.
- Preparation for the consulting interviews is essential. Many consulting firms utilize the case interview, to assess your critical thinking, business acumen and communications skills. There are a wealth of resources available in addition to those organizations might offer.
- Interpersonal skills are critical in these fields. Thus, while have technical knowledge and business acumen is also important, take advantage of opportunities to demonstrate leadership, hone public speaking skills and get comfortable interacting with a diverse array of people.
