Career Insider: Consulting Internships

Jul 18, 2017
A look at how to earn a consulting internship

By Nathaniel Luce

For first-year students looking to change job functions, mastering the personal story is critical — finding the parallel between past experiences and future job requirements is essential to convincing employers you’re right for the job. For MBAs with more “traditional” backgrounds, this can be a straightforward task. But how do the poker players and heavy metal musicians handle it?

Our Career Insider series continues this week with a look at Consulting, a field that attracts a lot of career-switchers. We talked with two aspiring consultants that have rather unique backgrounds — Bennet Hayes, who is interning at Boston Consulting Group, also known as BCG, and Andrew Glover, who is interning with North Highland. We checked back with them at the end of the summer to learn about their experiences.

Emily Anderson and Courtney Fein of the Career Management Center conducted the interviews.
