How to Best Stand out @ "Bain Breakout Session"
I'm scheduled to attend a virtual Bain Breakout Session in a few weeks for advanced degree candidates. This means PHD, MBA, JD, etc. or other advanced degree candidates with 3+ years of business experience (This is me - Masters degree in STEM + work experience). I will likely be the only one who is not MBA/PHD in this session and am wondering how I can stand out and/or best make connections in these types of group discussion/informationals. I feel a bit under qualified given my background but am hoping to connect with whoever I can at the company with aims of eventually getting a referral for the Advantage program and/or upcoming Summer internships.
Any general insights or tips would be appreciated, I've had 1 on 1's with consultants from other firms but never have done a group recruiting/general style informational session like this, so want to be as best prepared to utilize the opportunity as best as possible.
Thanks in advance!
I'll be honest, I tend to forget almost everyone's name / face the second I log off from those calls.
That being said, you indeed can stand out (and thus not be forgotten). We are encouraged to mention candidates we think have a lot of potential. However, this is VERY hard to showcase in a mostly passive ~30-45mins online session.
The best thing you can do is:
That's about it... there's really nothing you can do otherwise. Feel free to ask the people on the call if you can add them on LinkedIn, some should be happy to oblige, some might not use it much at all, but wouldn't hurt
