How you will turn your Consulting Internship into a Job Offer!

- A consulting internship is a great opportunity to receive your first full-time job offer. If you intern at an MBB consulting firm (McKinsey, BCG, Bain), you often have the opportunity to join management consulting after the internship. In this video I show you how to land an internship and turn that into a job offer. It shows you the strategies that I used in my McKinsey internship to receive a job offer after internship. I talk about the three key evaluation dimensions for interns: Analytical Skills, Client Skills and Team Skills. If you master these skills, you have great chances to receive your consulting job offer. Internship job offers are frequently given in management consulting. Make sure you secure your internship job offer after your MBB internship as well!

Why would a consultancy hire you if you didn't complete your degree yet?
Hi Heinrich, I'm super glad that I come across this video as I'll be joining a consulting firm as an intern very soon. Thank you so much for the tips! Please pray for me that I'll get the job offer there once I've completed my internship :)
Hi Heinrich, this is perfect as I'll be interning for Bain this summer of my MBA. I'll show them what a Firm Learning subscriber is made of B)
Hi Heinrich, this video is perfect for me as I have just accepted a graduate internship position at a consulting firm. Appreciate your insights and tips.
Very glad to hear it is helpful. Lots of success to you!! Best, Heinrich
Very helpful video, I will go to work in BCG and it is so brilliant information, because it is important to understand evaluation system))
Glad it was helpful! Good luck at BCG :)
Great insights - will for sure come back to this for my next internship. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Best, H
Hi Mr, it's good value. Thanks so much for that. If you can, kindly make the videos explain deeply about qualitative, quantitative and analytic skills and what kind of math are required when 1 person want to be focused in consulting industry, especially, such as MBB.
Hi, thank you for watching! Well noted, I put that down on my ideas list for future videos.
One thing upfront regarding math: These jobs do require you to be good in math, but this is rather to be understood as having a good math intuition and be good in mental math. Regarding the actual math techniques, for 99% what you do, high school math together with a basic understanding of statistics is more than enough.
All the best!
Heinrich
@@FirmLearning Hi Heinrich, I think the best is you make 1 video to talk about exactly what kind of math and qualitative and quantitative which are used frequently in every day life of consultant for me and other people know what to prepare. If you can, kindly make another video about analytic skill. My suggestion is simple like that, thanks so much.
Thank you Heinrich for these great tips! I‘m starting my internship at a strategy consulting firm next month and will surely try to apply them in order to get a full time offer. I‘ll let you know how it worked out 🙂
Hi Günther, great to hear, lots of success to you!! Best, Heinrich
@@FirmLearning Hi Heinrich, just wanted to give you an update: I got the offer!!! Thanks a lot for your valuable content on this channel 😊
@@gsocha97 This is awesome, congratulations. Lots of success to you in your new role!! :) Best, Heinrich
Hi sir, please make video on resume writing for MBB for Freshers.
Hi Ravikumar, thanks for the suggestion! Yes, thought about such a video as well. Have it on my list for future content. Thanks for watching! Best, Heinrich
I’m about to fill up my application as an almost graduate (I’m finishing my Chemical Engineering studies this month). I understand that in my case, I have to apply for the business analyst intern and not the business analyst. Am I right? I don’t have working experience. Thank you Heinrich, for your great videos!
Hi Kevin, usually if the start date is after the completion of your degree, you can apply to the full-time position / do not need to do an internship! Best, Heinrich
Hope this helps! Thanks for your Tipps!
Thanks for watching! Best, H
Hey Heinrich, in your experience what percentage of interns receives a full time offer at McKinsey? Interning with McK in spring…
Hi Ferdi, great stuff! Percentage is actually quite high, likely significantly larger than 50% :) All the best to you, Heinrich
Hi Heinrich, I’m a civil engineering undergrad looking to get a job in consulting. How should I cater my resume to the application if I have only interned at engineering firms so far?
Hi, avoid coming across as too technical in your CV (do not fill the bullets up with IT acronyms, software development stuff etc.) Rather focus on more conceptual / strategic tasks that you did and show that you have this side in you as well. Lots of success! Best, Heinrich
@@FirmLearning Thank you for your reply, Heinrich! Just another clarification, is there a need to quantify my contributions to the company at every bullet point? As sometimes the contributions are rather generic, (eg. Administered the standards and workflow for the digitlisation platform for stakeholder’s reference). Also another questions about Co-Curricular Activities, I have a been Captain for two sports teams (same sport), sub-commitee member for one volunteer group and a student mentor, which do you think should take precedence in my CV if i were looking to remove some to stick to a one page CV?
@@roxme1996 Hi, no you do not need to quantify every single one if it does not make sense. Regarding extracurriculars, would focus on the 1-2 roles you can write the most interesting "bullets" for regarding leadership experience, etc. Best! H
My tipp: Be gentle and work efficient - thats it. @Firm Learning Why did you leave? dont tell me your exit is youtube.
That sums it up pretty well! Currently working for a German retailer. Doing TH-cam just for fun ;) Thanks for watching! Best, Heinrich
