<p>Hi All,
I'm looking to parlay my unique business experience into a Management Consultant position-
Please tell me how successful you think I'd be in doing so, based on my background!</p>
<p>My background:
I graduated from a good school (one notch under Ivy League) at the age of 20, in 3 years instead of 4, with a BA in Business Economics.
About six months later, I took on my first corporate position, at a mid-sized, 40 year old firm specializing in recruitment services.
My intentions of starting here were not necessarily to excel in the Sales role I was hired for, but to analyze the business for which I'd work, and to formulate and present my profit-bearing to the most senior management, in hopes of gaining merit. </p>
<p>Here is my list of accomplishments at the firm:
- Broke several sales records within the first 6 months of my arrival, as a rookie (doesn't tie into how I'd be a good consultant, but speaks to my intelligence and work-ethic).
- MORE IMPORTANTLY: After conducting backbreaking analysis/analytics, I've formulated dozens of meritable ideas for almost every of aspect of the business, which have been hailed by the CEO and top management as valuable, and more importantly, which management are beginning to (or already have) implement- and which our company is seeing an immediate return on. These changes will and have, by management's own admission, increased the company's profit margin substantially. </p>
<p>So, given my background and accomplishments, how easy do you think it would be for me to transition directly into a management consultant role?</p>
<p>Will I still have to attend B-School to get a job as a management consultant, given the fact that the work I've be doing is basically that of a management consultant (and I've been successful)?</p>
<p>Also, I'm 22 years old, turning 23 in a few months.</p>
<p>Let me know the feasibility of my goal to transition directly into a Manag. Consultant!</p>
