Ways to Build Consulting Experience

To prepare for a career in consulting, ensuring that your resume and experience align with the industry requirements is crucial. Consulting firms typically recruit a year in advance, so having the right credentials early is essential. One strategy is to secure a job in a relevant industry, preferably with a well-known firm such as Capital One, or engaging in strategic projects to hone analytical skills. Additionally, offering structured consulting projects to organizations for free can showcase your abilities and provide valuable experience.
