Consulting Recruiting Help for Rising Sophomore at Target

Hi all
I’m a rising sophomore at a target school and just realized I missed McKinsey’s SSBA since I thought it would open later.

Any tips for how to stay on top of consulting roles as soon as they open?

Thanks in advance.

Make a list of all firms you're looking to potentially intern/work ft at and throw them in your AI of choice and ask for dates to plug into your calendar for every single role that fits your year/resume (obviously throw them in the prompt as well. Then just manually input them into your calendar and set up a 1 week or 1 day before reminder so you can touch up your resume accordingly.

 

Go to all the firms you're interested, make a career / recruiting account, make sure to put in your school, and you'll get all the emails telling you when the deadlines are.
