CV Example
CV example for management consultants and strategy advisers. Includes MBB-style format, case-impact bullets and sector references.
Senior consultant with 6 years of experience at McKinsey & Company London, specialising in financial services and post-merger integration. Lead on 3 PMI engagements (total deal value £3.6bn). Stanford MBA. Visiting lecturer for the MBA course "Value Creation in M&A" at London Business School.
Lead consultant on high-stakes engagements in the Banking & Insurance practice. Managing 3-5 associates per case.
Engagements primarily in Public Sector and Financial Services.
Template: executive · Colour: slate
Concrete, no clichés — what works with recruiters.
At MBB (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) and tier-1 strategy firms the format is stricter than elsewhere: one page, black-and-white, conservative typography, no colour, no photo. The Zakelijk or Executive template in ResuBox aligns with this. Numbers and names wherever possible — McKinsey reads a case bullet without a number as unproven.
Describe cases along three dimensions: scope (deal value, FTE impact, geographic coverage), your role (analyst / associate / EM), and concrete impact ("£78M implemented"). NDA issues: sector and deal size are usually permissible without a client name — if in doubt, anonymise ("European insurer") and stay concrete with numbers.
For strategy consulting, education carries weight. Top MBA programmes (Stanford, INSEAD, LBS, IESE, Harvard) always mention — strong filter. GMAT score only if above 720. First-class honours / honours tracks always state. Languages at C-level or native (EN/FR/DE/ES) are often a real plus for international engagements — list them.
