Application for Consultant position at Cain & Company
My career plans and conversations with Sr. Associate Consultant Christian Andersen and Case Team
Leader Peter Jackson about the firm and culture convinced me to pursue a career at Cain & Company. My
educational background in the field of engineering (BSc) and business administration (MBA), along with
my professional experience in a leading shipping company, makes me an excellent candidate for a
position as Consultant.
I have a varied background which will serve me well as I work with a variety of people in the
management consulting field. I currently work for Anders Shipping as General Manager with
responsibility for the companys North African operations. It is a position that afforded me the
opportunity to travel widely and develop effective analytical skills and the ability to work with a variety
of people. My educational foundation is an MBA from Columford, with a concentration in strategic
management. I also have an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering. Between my undergraduate
and MBA programs, I worked as a Sourcing Manager with Anders Shipping. In my position there, I
served in a leadership capacity, with ten staff in my department. This leadership opportunity has been
invaluable in my continued professional development.
There are several characteristics that your firm demonstrates which motivate me to become a part of the
team. Cain & Company has a clear, strong focus on the private equity segment with leading capabilities
within due diligence services. Further, Cain & Company is a truly global firm, which offers a great
opportunity to work in an international environment. I find these qualities highly motivating and
appealing.

Introduction
Getting into management consulting is
extremely competitive. You need to have
excellent qualifications, but this is far from
enough. These great credentials need to be
presented in a professional cover letter and
resume in order for you to make it to the
interview rounds. The top three consulting
firms receive more than 150,000 applications a year. Typically, the first screening of
an application does not take more than 45
seconds to complete. It is therefore vitally
important that your application is focused
and structured. Our aim with this guide is to
provide you with the necessary tools to make
a professional cover letter and resume that
will allow you to compete for a spot in the
interview rounds. We will ensure that you
do not commit the classic mistakes, which
will get you discarded in an instant. What you

Pre-Interview
Less than 10% of applicants make it
through to the interview rounds. Some applicants are simply discarded based on their
qualifications, while others are sorted out due
to substandard cover letters and resumes.
This guide focuses solely on the pre-interview
phase.
Case Interviews
The case interview is a classic in management consulting. The purpose is to test the
candidates ability to perform problem-solving and effectively communicate and present
findings. Problem solving skills include business judgment, quantitative skills, creativity,
logical reasoning, and the ability to structure
an analysis. These are all skills that are highly
useful as a management consultant. In real
life consulting, the client often puts you on
the spot by asking a question that requires
problem-solving skills. The case interview
form is a great way to test how a person performs under pressure, i.e. if he/she easily
gets frustrated when challenged. Management consulting firms are very diligent in
their recruiting, so expect two to three interview rounds equivalent to five or six separate
interviews.
Written Test
Most management consulting firms
also test their applicants via a written test.
The written test usually consists of various
numerical and verbal multiple-choice ques-
Introduction
Management Consulting
Success Factors
Knowing what management consulting
firms look for is a prerequisite for writing
great resumes and cover letters. A great place
to start is always at the consulting firms website. For example, McKinsey looks for skills
in problem solving, achievement, personal
impact and leadership whereas Bain judge
their candidates on criteria such as the ability to add value along with client skills and
team skills.
We believe that there are key skills and
personal characteristics that all management
consulting firms look for regardless of how
they communicate their requirements.
Introduction
Your cover letter and resume need to display that you perform well on these key success factors for management consulting. All
of your previous experience and personality
features must relate to these factors.
Introduction
STEP 1:
Identify Your
Relevant Skills
This step will show you...
how to identify relevant professional experience, academic achievements,
skills and personal interests for your resume and cover letter
STEP 1:
Identify Your
Relevant Skills
10
To help you decide which of your achievements and experiences are relevant for a job
in management consulting, you can use the
below framework. Plot in your achievements
in the first column and tick off which of the six
success factors it relates to. Note that an item
can easily cover more than one success factor.
Structured
thinking
Business
Judgment
Communication
Personal

The above framework is filled with examples to guide you. See the appendix of this
guide for an empty version of the above table, which you can use for your own analysis.
Experienced
vs.
Recent graduate
Management consulting firms are aware that most recent graduates do not have
substantial professional experience, but keep in mind that you still need to show that
you fulfill all six success factors.
Professional Experience
In the management consulting world, professional experience is extremely important, a
commodity that is never overlooked and can
usually be one of the deciding factors when
hiring someone for a new position. If you
have had a limited amount of professional
experience (still a student or recently graduated), then include all jobs you have had as an
adultwhether it is being a teaching assistant
at university or working part-time as an office
clerk. The key is to show drive and motivation
in any sort of professional capacity, and if that
does not include the field you are applying for,
you must prove that what you have is relevant
as well. There is another side to the coin,
however. You should not have a multitude of
irrelevant jobs that you have only listed to fill
spacebe conscious of what will make you
seem like the best candidate for the job.
Consider the ways your professional experience can apply to the six management consulting success factors. Structured thinking
is one of the most important things that link
12
Education
Skills
This section is obviously going to be different from person to person, and you should
always try to be somewhat introspective and
ask yourself, What other relevant skills do I
possess that are NOT included in professional
experience or formal education? Examples
could be language/cultural knowledge, special software knowledge (such as Bloomberg,
etc.), or applied skills (such as advanced financial modelling). Skills can be applicable all
over the board, depending on each different
capability.
13
Interests
Once you have portioned out the majority
of yourself within the categories of professional experience, education, and key skills,
it is time to include everything else that does
not fit into those categories. This especially
helps you stand out from other candidates
in the recruiters mindsit gives your profile
some specific qualities that set you apart.
You should be sure to include membership
in any organizations (anything from professional to social) as well as any responsibilities
or leadership roles you have taken within the
organization. Otherwise, any extracurricular
hobbies or interests relevant to the position
you are applying for are also important to
United States
vs.
Europe
Continental European applicants are allowed to put more emphasis on their personal
hobbies. This can be anything from hiking to motorcycles and will help you differentiate yourself from the candidates.

STEP 2:
Structure
Your Resume
This step will show you...
how to structure, format and design a resume aimed at the management
consulting industry.
STEP 2:
Structure Your
Resume
Successful resumes for management consulting positions need to be well-planned and
thought out. You cannot just take a standard
resume you have used in the past and email
it. Instead, you need to look at each aspect
of your professional career as well as your
personal interests and skills. Next, place them
in an ordered, clear, and informative manner
that will put a positive light on you within the
context of management consulting. This section will help you structure and design your
resume clearly and concisely.
United States
vs.
Europe
16
Structure
Length
The resume should be structured concisely and direct, written solely in a professional manner that gives your potential
employers proper knowledge of your relevant
qualifications. Remember that resumes are
not one-size-fits-all. Each time you submit a
resume it should be tailored towards the job
you are applying for.
United States
vs.
Europe
In the US, the purpose of your resume is to sell your results while the purpose in
Europe is to sell yourself. In the US, experienced applicants should give a brief account
of each position theyve held and any other qualifications. In Europe, however, it is
normal to summarize all of your professional experience as well as your education.
Because the European recruiters ask for more content, it is normal for a resume to be
about two pages as opposed to the conciseness of American resumes, which should
be about one page. European management consulting firms want to know more
about you than American firms. Personal information (age, marital status, and race)
and a photograph are encouraged in some places such as Germany. American firms,
however, do not need or want to know much about who you are, they just want to
know what you have done and what you can do for their firm in the future.

Resume

Header
Information such as your name, address,
phone number and e-mail address should
always be at the very top of your resume in
the header section, and they should always
be up to date. It is very common to forget to
update your contact information when you
move, switch phone numbers, etc., and you
should always check it over before submitting
a resume.
Summary
Be sure to summarize yourself and your
ambitions in the management consulting
industry, and specifically the position to which
you are applying. After reading this section,
the recruiter should have no doubts about
your abilities or what your career goal is. Keep
the summary short it should be about 2-3
lines only.
Professional Experience
Be sure to emphasize any and every position that might be relevant to the job you are
applying. If it is an entry-level opening, it is
appropriate to include university work experience, volunteer work, and extracurricular
activities. When listing relevant experiences,
be sure to place them in reverse chronological
order so that the most recent experience is
listed first. Also do not forget to include the
duration of each period of employment, listing the start date as well as end date (Include
month and year). Next, be sure to quantify
your results if possible, for management con-
19
Education
When listing subjects that you have studied, be sure to include what skills you developed in each class or project you worked on.
It is very important that those reading your
resume know that you are qualified for the
position by listing relevant academic achievements and acquired skills. If you have received
some substantial/important scholarships, you
can include a paragraph with those as well.
Skills
As with all other types of content, think
critically on what skills you have that are relevant. Languages, computer skills, and appropriate licensing should all be considered when
shaping ones resume. What is especially
important is whether or not a certain skill
makes you stand out from other potential
applicants. Other things being equal, an applicant fluent in Spanish and French in addition
to English will have a leg up on the competition compared to one who only speaks English.
Personal Interests
This is definitely a time when carefully
and critically looking at your content is very
important. Not all personal interests are applicable in the context of the job you are seeking, but some can be invaluable. For example,
Design
Between the amount of resumes that
management consulting firms receive and
the amount of time allowed to screen each
resume, it is easy to see how it is very important for your resume to stand out. Even
though the screening process within each
management consulting firm is very professional and content-based, it still requires you
to focus on design of your resume. Not only
can the wrong layout give an underwhelming
impression to those reading your resume, but
an unappealing layout can just as easily send
your resume into the trash.
20
D
o not exaggerate your design
Remember that the management consulting industry is rather conservative,
therefore resumes hoping to shine in
that field should be clear and simple
to follow
Maintain formatting consistency (if
you use something like italics, capital letters, bullet points, bold font, or
underlining, be sure to use each in the
same context throughout the resume)
Do not exaggerate with font size or
use non-traditional fonts. We suggest
that you use one of the fonts below:

Most people find it hard to write a cover

Cover letters are very important in your application to a management consulting firm, so
there is no way around it. A great consulting cover letter leaves the recruiter with the
impression that the candidate is extraordinary
and has the necessary skills to perform well
as a management consultant. These include
a candidates written communication skills,
which among other things show how diligent

It is time to write the cover letter now,
once you have considered the structure, contents and the formatting.
As mentioned before, communication is
one of the six management consulting success
factors. This includes written communication.
You should therefore use a clear, concise, and
professional language. Your cover letter needs
to inspire confidence with a business-like
tone. At the same time you should also avoid
using old fashioned and over-polite language.

STEP 6:
Proofread and

Once you are finished with writing of your
resume and cover letter, you must thoroughly
check for spelling, grammatical, and formatting errors.
Resume Proofreading
Look over the facts and make sure all information is correct, just in case your employer
goes fact-checking with one of your references. Be sure you have the proper dates
listed for your former jobs, as well as your
position titles and the type of work you did.
In this regard, proofreading is not just about
errors in your typing; it gives you another
chance to be sure you are writing your resume
in an effective, honest manner.
34
Delivery
When you feel confident that your cover
letter and resume are both ready, there is still
some work to do. Different consulting firms
have different ways of accepting applications.
The same firm usually also has varying policies
in from country to country so make sure to
check this. The two most common ways of
delivery are either through email or through
an online application form.

Application for internship at StarConsulting
My considerations for a future career as a management consultant lead me to explore the possibility of an
internship position at StarConsulting. I learned about this position from Senior Associate Lynn Howard. My
strong academic record and leadership skills could contribute great value to StarConsulting.
Through my management consulting classes I have learned a great amount about the theories and work
flows behind management consulting. I have demonstrated high academic performance and my current
GPA is at 3.9/4.0. I have also been a member of the Management Consulting Association (MCA) during my
time here, and I served as president in 2009 where I helped other students make valuable connections with
management consulting professionals as well as provide opportunities for students to find internships.
I find the management consulting industry very interesting as I like to work with competent people with
diverse backgrounds. Also, I like to push the limits and develop myself professionally and personally. An
internship with StarConsulting would be a great start on my career as you have a great reputation on
focusing on developing the interns substantially during the program.
The position as president of MCA developed my leadership skills and taught me how to run projects in
larger teams. The fellow students usually gave me positive feedback about my abilities on motivating them.
I would be a great asset to your organization as an intern and hopefully a full-time management consultant
in the future. Enclosed to this cover letter, you will find my resume and grade transcripts. Please let me
know if you need further information or references for any of my previous positions.
