2.Why have you chosen the program listed on your offer?

I always excelled in Math, Economics, & Business skills right from my school. This was the very
reason why I pursued my Bachelors degree in Maths & Statistics. I have learnt many things
from my current job at the bank and, has gained many essential skills like business
administration, commerce, accounting & finance. I feel my current work experience at Coop
bank has set a good foundation. But to pursue my dream career in International trade &
Investment in international banks in India like HSBC India, DBS, The Bank of America, Citibank,
Standard Chartered Bank, Deutsche Bank & Barclays Bank, I need international experience.
But, Experience is hard to gain without a higher education, as not many employers in
international business will take me on for a role with any substantial amount of responsibility
without it. So a Master’s degree is typically considered the minimum entry requirement in this
field of International trade & Investment. Hence, I have made a firm decision to do Master of
International Business from a reputed Business school from Australia. I wish to develop in depth
knowledge about technical and economic factors, influencing international trade and
competitiveness. With gained experience & qualification at the University of Adelaide will help
me advance into roles of greater responsibility and pay at International banks as an
International trader, international trade analyst or International Trade Specialist. Moreover, this
course suits my personality and professional interests .

This course will help me gain an in-depth understanding of business and crucial communication
skills. I also feel that higher education in my resume will cover my less experience in the field of
investment and trading and help me develop necessary skills for preparing technical reports
related to international investment opportunities, providing international traders with statistics,
forecasting and future projections concerning international trade and investments, and
conducting market analysis and segmentation based on foreign business and financial
indicators to crack a job opportunity in International market.

Management consultants help organizations solve problems, improve business performance, create
value and maximize growth. They identify solutions for business troubles and make suggestions for
changes to implement. The work taken on by management consultants can be varied, including e-
business, marketing, supply chain management, and business strategy.

The day-to-day responsibilities of the job include conducting analysis of company figures, interviewing
employees of the client, preparing presentations and business proposals, and managing the team
overseeing the implementation of these suggestions.
There is a huge variety of consulting firms, ranging from well-known big firms such as McKinsey, Boston
Consulting Group, Bain, Deloitte, PwC and KPMG, to smaller (specialist) ‘boutique’ firms. Boutique firms
often deal with more specific industries such as healthcare consulting or design consulting, while big
firms cover a broad scope of industries, with top firms offering operating consulting, strategy consulting,
and IT consulting (amongst others).

Why become a management consultant?

Management consulting can be an extremely rewarding career, in terms of both job satisfaction and
remuneration. According to figures from Indeed.com, the average consultancy salary in the US is
US$83,408 per year. However, salaries can be considerably higher, with MBA graduates from Wharton’s
MBA class of 2018 reporting a median salary of US$150,000 for consulting jobs.

However, whilst high salaries are a draw for aspiring consultants, they are only a minor element for
choosing this career path. Consultancy suits people who thrive off variety, as days can be exciting and
unpredictable – for example, you might be needed at client sites at the last minute, there’s a lot of travel,
and you will meet a huge range of interesting people.

Whilst the tight deadlines and highly pressurized environment can be off-putting for some, it may
enhance the experience for those with a consultant’s mindset. The steep learning curve of life as a junior
consultant means you’ll be working with senior clients and given a high level of responsibility early on in
your career.

Training and learning are part of the culture, with frequent opportunities for development. If you work at
a non-specialized firm, you will also learn a lot about industries you may not have encountered before.
The skills you develop in consulting, such as strategy, research, and communication are transferable
should you decide to change career in the future.

As it is such a competitive industry to get into, you’ll likely have top-quality colleagues with a similar level
of intelligence and way of thinking. Whilst the hours can be infamously long and anti-social, the flipside
is you’ll develop close bonds with colleagues, and most consulting firms offer great perks such as
company cars, free meals, sabbatical opportunities and gym memberships.

The growth of the consulting industry is closely linked with developments in the global economy,
according to consultancy.uk. When the economy is booming, organizations have higher budgets and will
spend more on consultants, however, the opposite is true in troubled economic times.
Although the industry faced a downturn in the wake of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis, it has been
steadily rising since 2011, valued at US$251 billion globally in 2016. Whilst North America and EMEA
(Europe, Middle East and Africa) hold the bulk of the market (40 and 41 percent respectively), Asia-
Pacific is the region with the highest growth momentum.

What can you do to become a management consultant?

Education

You don’t need any specific qualifications to become a management consultant.

However, competition is fierce, and applicants with MBAs or business master’s degrees will find it
considerably easier to get into the field.

It can also help to have a degree relevant to the industry if you want to go into a specialized consulting
field, such as engineering or IT.

Generally, a UK 2:1 degree (or international equivalent) is required for entry onto a graduate scheme.

Skillset

There are a wide range of skills valued for a management consultant. Below are some of the most
important:

Quantitative and analytical skills.

Ability to work under pressure and cope with challenging situations.

Good teamwork skills.

Flexibility.

Understanding of business environments and commercial awareness.

Problem-solving skills.

Good interpersonal and communication skills.

Interview Process

One thing aspiring consultants can be sure of is a long, multi-stage interview process.

It usually starts with rounds of ‘personality’ interviews, which assess how well you would fit in with the
culture of the firm. These will include your standard interview questions, such as ‘What do you consider
your strengths and weaknesses?’

After this, some firms will have a group interview stage. You will be put in a small group with fellow
candidates to solve a problem together to present to the interviewing panel. This tests your ability to
work in a team and come up with a solution.
The final stage is the notorious ‘case interview’. You will be asked a ‘real life’ consulting question such as
‘The CEO of a fast food chain wants to close one of its outlets. Should she do it?’

In the case interview the interviewer isn’t looking for a perfect response to the question, they just want
to see how you think and approach a problem in a logical manner.

Additional Qualifications

You can gain consultancy qualifications from consulting organizations like the Institute of Consulting in
the UK and Institute of Management Consultants in the US.

Even if you don’t choose to gain a qualification, joining these sorts of organizations can demonstrate
your commitment to the field.

How can you find a job as a management consultant?

Most consultants enter the field at graduate level, with a strong academic background. Top firms recruit
hundreds of the best and brightest graduates onto their graduate schemes every year. Graduates will be
referred to as ‘analysts’ and support senior consultants. Many schemes operate a rotation system, so you
get to experience a range of practices and areas of consulting.

MBA graduates will enter at a higher level, like those entering another field with previous work
experience. This is commonly referred to as ‘experience hire’ entry level roles. Having an MBA or
management master’s degree will boost your chances of being hired as a consultant, but it’s still a very
competitive job market.

Consultancy firms are known to be some of the most active recruiters at universities and are a good first
stop on your consulting journey. Many big firms offer summer internships and ‘taster’ placements which
can help get your foot in the door.

As with most competitive careers, a vital part of getting a job as a management consultant is networking.
This is even more applicable in consulting where networking is an integral part of the role.

Most big consulting firms will have several events where interested students can network. These include
office hours and corporate presentations, as well as general networking events. Office hours offer one on
one time with recruiters, so it’s easier to differentiate yourself.
Information calls with members of the recruiting team are another way to showcase your skills and occur
around the end of October/start of November. They’re an opportunity to highlight your skills as well as
find out more about the firm.

Once you have networked your way to the interview stages at a big firm, there are some helpful pointers
to remember to help you land a role. Even if you have no prior experience with consulting, it’s important
to highlight skills that are relevant to the role, such as analytical skills and communication.

You are likely to be asked less about your experience and more about your ‘fit’ for the field, such as
willingness to travel and take on long hours. It’s vital to show some of your personality in your
interviews, as recruiters will want to know how well you will get on with others at the firm. Be yourself,
and it should come naturally!
