Oliver Wyman contacts

sure i will go check linkedin for you now. I will organize the whole list and do all the leg work for you... do you want their phone numbers too? Email maybe?

DUDE, DO IT YOURSELF

what exactly are you writing in your emails?

this is the format that I use. Its gotten me results in terms of responses when i sent them to upper associates at BBs but I have had no success here.

Dear Mr. ________,

My name is ______ and I am currently a senior at ______ University who is majoring in Economics and Political Science seeking a full time job. I hope you do not find this email intrusive or repetitive as I believe you probably receive many e-mails of this sort. I found your name by looking for associates at Oliver Wyman via Linkedin. I'm looking to break into the financial services and management consulting field and would love some advice from an insider. I would be interested in setting up a short meeting or a phone call at your convenience, perhaps I can offer you a coffee. I know that you are very busy especially with all the travel that is involved, and I am more than willing to adjust to your schedule. I have attached my resume for your reference. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Best,

this is the format that I have been using. Someone said that it is a bit wordy and long but I have had some success in the past. So i figured I'd post in the consulting section. Thanks for the advise guys.

No more than three sentences is my rule of thumb. Stuff like the second sentence are not needed.

.

You sound like a huge suck-ass. Keep it brief and take out all of that bullshit stuff ..."perhaps i can offer you a coffee" & "i hope you do not find this email intrusive blah blah blah"

thanks for the advice fells

will cut it down

Disagree. You should not attach the resume unless they specifically ask. If interested, they will. Also don't write up 3 paragraphs on what you have done to date, one or two lines showing how your experience ties to interest is good enough.

Only saying what worked for me. I wrote a 10+ line long email, with an attached, presumptuous resume. My email writing skills are pretty good though. Anyway, all the best OP.

Skillset for writing emails?

Attach the CV. I screen all emails like this I receive by just looking at the Cv and seeing if it's worth my time.

If you were applying to banking then I would keep your e-mail very short (2-3 lines). Since you're writing to a consulting firm, you could write a full paragraph. Take the advice of the group and skip the foreplay. A sentance to introduce yourself. Two-Three explaining your interest and match to OW and then 1 concluding. I would always attach the resume because it's just annoying having to ask for it.
