Looking to obtain a job in consulting? Post here for recruitment advice, resume reviews, questions about offers/firms or general insecurity (Q3 2019)

Your resume is your business card. It should highlight the main points and key messages you want to convey to the recruiter or resume screener. In general, hiring managers will not read more than two pages, especially in the initial phases of the recruitment process.

Do not include an “Objective” section on your resume. This is an obsolete section of resume writing. Instead, replace it with a “summary” or “profile” section. In this section, which should be the first section after your name and contact information, briefly introduce yourself and include several points that will encourage the hiring manager to read further. Consider this section your 30-second pitch that summarizes your career path thus far.

Thanks
