Can I break into Accenture Strategy with my resume?
Hi guys,
I'm dead set on Accenture Strategy. I'm hoping to get an offer as an entry level analyst. How are my credentials? Also, any Accenture strategy guys here? Could you give me some advice?
I've been practicing cases and reading Case in Point by Cosentino, Case Interview Secrets by Victor Cheng and Crack the Case by Ohrvall.
Thanks for reading.

The resume is so quant heavy....where's the part in your resume that says
"I work well in teams" "I know how to solve dynamic business issues that touch on several key areas of a business?" "I have solid people skills" "I'm actually interested in consulting"
I mean, I guess you could consulting club, but that's pretty lame if you're just doing it last minute right? Think about positioning. And honestly, at this stage, networking early with campus recruiters (emailing, setting up a time for coffee chats, etc. etc.) is probably just as important as looking at your resume. You validate those questions, then show the quant capabilities through your resume.
Hope that helps!
Thanks for your advice!!
a lot of white space
You should rewrite your experiences using the business impact formula: Accomplished x as measured by y by doing z.
I'm not familiar with this... can you be more specific?
e.g. "Conducted market research revealing excess risk exposure and implemented xyz solution thereby resulting in $1MM savings."
Not a great example but the point is you need to be able to quantifiably demonstrate how your efforts resulted in some material benefit to your firm. It isn't enough that you did something, you need to show how doing that something drove value at your firm (i.e. increased revenue, reduced cost, improved margin, mitigated risk, reduced turnover, improved brand recognition, etc.)
