Other E-books to Consider

If you want a more elaborate explanation on some crucial topics, here are other e-books you might want to consider:

  • Consulting Interview Frameworks – Structuring your answer during case interviews is a skill you need to develop, and you will never have this if you don’t master the frameworks. Frameworks provide you a step-by-step guide to resolve the business problem. This starts from identifying the factors you need to consider until deriving at a well-reasoned recommendation.
  • Consulting Cover Letters and Resumes – Underestimating the power of your job application is one huge mistake in management consulting. Since it’s the document that represents you to the recruiters, you must write it well to grab their attention. Remember that they receive hundreds of resumes per month and most of them are from qualified applicants. If your job application is poorly written, chances are you won’t be even called for an interview.
