How to Get Into Consulting Without Experience

I got a graduate management consulting job after leaving university without really knowing what consulting was lol, so hopefully this video will help you out if you're applying to graduate schemes etc
I'm now working for a KZbinr called Ali Abdaal as his KZbin Producer.
I write a weekly newsletter for KZbinrs and about things I learn about KZbin working for Ali here if you're interested in checking it out: youtubehowto.substack.com/
I also tweet about KZbin here: / tintinsmith
Awesome graduate jobs website where I found my graduate programme: www.brightnetwork.co.uk/

[@ConnorWidmaier]

Heard about those case studies before. That'd be a video I'd like to see more of!

[@tintinsmith]

Nice will make a note !

[@T.Green.]

Thank you man, so helpful!

[@keithhealy3931]

A great video pal. Very informative. Currently studying for a BA (Hons) in Professional Management and i wonder if maybe i could look at consultancy as a career option.

[@leastbindari]

❤ I am join !

[@petrahallerdancer3967]

Nice love the video. How long did you have your Chanel before you got monetized?

[@tintinsmith]

It took me about 8 months, I talk about it in the video before this one called how I made my first £1 online

[@bigman7856]

I’ve always considered this an interesting field to work in. Still, I’ve never really made an attempt to approach consulting. I graduated with a BA in history and specialized in classical text and literature, so I guess I’m sort of in the same boat as you were previously. Its comforting to hear your story, but I find it difficult to locate positions that are not wanting years of experience and a STEM education background. I usually don’t push my luck when those type of requirements are specifically singled out as “REQUIRED.” I could only image resume algorithms skipping over me or HR reps rolling their eyes at a guy with a history/classical/economic philosophy background. I currently work as a wood-shop carpenter, but previously spent over 2 years in insurance. That also doesn’t really seem to line up with most job listings. Thanks for the video! I’ll do my research.

[@tintinsmith]

it's interesting for sure, especially if you're in a field that excites you, good luck!

[@asadb1990]

Whats the pay like in consulting to break in to market for experienced people. Im in construction with 10 years experience making like over 100k usd. Can i get more than that in consulting?

[@vipulkamble]

Hey Tintin, I am a Msc Management Graduate and trying to get into Consulting.

[@ucheokogwu7942]

Sorry if I am late .But I plan to study international relations or political science but you think it is a good degree to get into consultancy

[@sazzadhossain2070]

💚❤️💚

[@wilsonjevin]

Where do I find consultant jobs? I only know of LinkedIn and I am sure there are more out there.

[@StarrStarrandStarr]

Try typing "consulting jobs near me" in Google

[@ii-op1ic]

What company did you work for?

[@tintinsmith]

They were a company called Arcadis

[@Abdellah.AB1]

Sometimes I just wonder, why do companies go for all these processes before hiring someone? I mean tests + a case study and a group task + a video interview + a final interview, it is such a draining energy for an individual. Do you agree with me 😁😁? Btw great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@tintinsmith]

I do, it Is draining for candidates, but equally it seems to be worth the time for them because they can be more sure they’re getting the people they want. They also get so many applicants it can be hard to tell just from CVs and cover letters

[@Abdellah.AB1]

@@tintinsmith I agree with you 100%. A CV and cover letter is not enough for sure. My point was, going for all these interviews is too much. A group task + a face to face interview is more than enough.

[@tintinsmith]

Yeah you’re probably right tbh, but lots of them do it so it must be worth it for them in some sense otherwise you think they’d change it

[@Abdellah.AB1]

@@tintinsmith I don’t know if that is a question for me, but yeah I really hope they would change their hiring process 👍🏻👍🏻
