Brian of Mergers & Inquisitions posted on this very topic earlier today.
We're scheduling a trip to the East Coast next week to speak at schools about recruiting for finance and consulting. While a bit late in the fulltime and summer cycle for many - we think the advice is still pertinent and particularly helpful if your job search has been a struggle thus far.
Some of the topics we'll discuss include:
- What you can do to enhance your chances of breaking into finance and consulting in a poor economy
- How you should change your recruiting strategy when the economy takes a turn for the worst
- How you can best set yourself apart from everyone else applying to these same opportunities
- Lessons from the last recession and what happened to finance/consulting recruiting back then
