S15E24: The Unconventional Approach that Broke Olivia into BCG from a Non-Business Background
Description
Olivia stumbled across consulting early in her undergrad journey, joined BCG's "Advance" program for sophomore women, and parlayed a summer internship into a full-time Associate offer.
Sounds fairly standard - right?
But when you dig a little deeper, you'll realize that Olivia's journey into consulting was anything but standard - and carried a lot of hard-fought lessons.
This conversation is about mining out those lessons from her story, including:
- The unconventional strategy she used to stand out in the recruitment process
- How to show up confidently in case and fit interviews
- The mindset shift that transformed her networking approach
- Tips for bouncing back from interview mistakes
- & much more
