I was a bit shocked when I received the e-mail informing me of the seminar at Wharton given by Brian of Mergers & Inquisitions and Kevin of Management Consulted. I frequent their blogs to gain an insider’s insight into the investment banking and management consulting careers, and so when this opportunity presented itself, I knew I had to be present at this seminar.
After attending the seminar, Recruiting In A Down Market, I highly recommend it to anyone currently seeking employment in this market. Using a combination of anecdotal tales and tried-and-true methods, Brian and Kevin conveyed the excellent yet overlooked strategies for obtaining a job in the financial industry during this tumultuous time. The basic takeaway – do not rest on your laurels (or your school’s laurels for that matter) and instead, proactively pursue that job.
For anyone, and everyone, currently looking to obtain an internship or a full time position in the financial industry in this current economy, I would suggest you reach out to either gentleman, as they would provide insights that you might find pivotal.
