Internship Search: Consulting Insider Advice
Consider consulting firms beyond the major names in the industry to increase your opportunities of obtaining an internship
Study and practice the art of answering Case Interview Questions in preparation for interviews. This is not a skill that can be mastered in one night. Research company websites for practice questions
Hiring Cycle Consulting Firms will often come to campus to conduct interviewing for summer internships in the Winter Quarter and will return the following Fall Quarter to hire for fulltime openings. Along with On Campus Recruiting (OCR) consulting firms may also host company presentations and even pre-night activities for those selected to be interviewed. Check CareerCat everyday for updates and details. If a consulting employer is not scheduled to recruit at NU, visit their website to learn their application process.
