off campus hire? from finance to consulting after graduation

I graduated this may and am working at a hedgefund. During recruiting I felt my temperament was suited for finance but I find the work to be unfulfilling and I would like to be in a position where i can develop business vision/intuition. I think consulting is a better fit for me and ultimately better for my career development.

I will apply as an entry level, not experienced hire position, but since I'm no longer on campus I have to apply online at the company websites. Im wondering whether those resumes are actually read by anyone? And whether the fact I'm out of school make me ineligible for entry level/non experienced positions? if not then is emailing alumni the only ways to get ur resume considered.

Should I leave my hedgefund experience off my resume? since it's so short and I had been able to get MBB interview with my resume while doing full time recruiting so i'm not sure if including the hedgefund experience is a plus or minus.

thanks in advance for your 2cents

 

you can most certainly enter as a entry level consultant. 1 month of work is not going to qualify you as an experienced hire lol.

As for the resume, it would be better to network your way in, as your online submitted resume will be on the back-burner

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
