- What a "normal" day-in-the-life of an economic consultant looks like
- Critical cover letter do's and don'ts
- Key candidate qualities Bates White looks for
- The Bates White case interview process - demystified
- Why being able to get excited about dishwashers *may* mean you're cut out to be a consultant
