Cover Letter, what differentiates Bain from the rest? *Smart Answers!*
So if you're writing a cover letter for a bain job, what should you write to demonstrate you know not only a lot about the firm but something interesting that distinguishes it from the rest?
I've had a look at wetfeet's industry guide and its pretty abyssmal whats more its 2003 news. lots have changed over the years. wikipedia didn't help much too.
Anyone care to chip in?
I don't think you're in a position to demand smart answers. Try searching.
LOL, exactly bro. This is not a gameshow here. Why don't you give us 3-4 smart answers and we can help you in picking the best of them.
Don't expect freebies in life my friend.
if you seriously cant come up with answers for this, you probably shouldn't be applying to bain....
no offense
Take this advice with a grain of salt (new disclaimer), after this I'm done posting on here for a while.
The General Bain Cover Letter
If you go to bain.com and look at the "Case Interview" process--a Partner states that he likes logical thinkers who can get the point across quickly. I would think Bain would appreciate a logical cover letter (they tell you what they want to see basically). You can read some of their reports to get a feel for the language uesd.
Why you, why Bain, what you offer. What's the value you're adding? Simply state a 1st paragraph introducing yourself, what you are applying for, and what you offer (abbreviated).
Just my 2 cents. (Experience: Bain partners are my alums, went to 3 Bain presentations, selected for interview after cold-email).

Recent story about how a Bainie goes beyond helping a bainie. This is the differentiation. Do you have a story like that? (Read the Facebook page).

Bain is an excellent MBB, very objectively driven, sends about ~40 alums to each HBS class of 900.
Good luck.

Bain app, hidden cover letter question (Originally Posted: 12/06/2011)
Is this thing asking for a cover letter? A two-sentence blurb? "My daddy is a VP"? Or what?
