Management Consulting Mock Coffee Chat

“He was very friendly and helpful throughout the session. He provided a lot of practical advice on how to approach coffee chats with consultants. We also did a quick mock coffee chat, during which he gave me detailed and constructive feedback on the types of questions I could ask, how to follow up on responses, and how to explore topics in greater depth. I found the session really insightful and feel much more confident about approaching future coffee chats.”

Management Consulting Short Resume Review / Recap

“Matt was great-- he provided lots of good feedback on my resume and clarified some confusions I had on the experience section vs the leadership/activities one which i found very helpful, not only today, but just for the future in general. Additionally, he left time at the end for me to ask questions which I really appreciated, and I asked him some questions about consulting as a whole + his experience at Deloitte, and he was very knowledgeable about it all. He also provided me with good advice on how to navigate things moving forward.”
