Careers in Consulting
+ Learn More

Do you like the idea of a job that makes your parents say “I don’t know, something with spreadsheets” when people ask them what you do? Have you ever wanted to “make a big push to get a deliverable locked by CoB”? Have you ever used the word synergy and not meant it as a joke? If so, then consulting may be the career for you! This edition of IPD’s professional development series will answer basic questions about what consulting is, which firms do it, what the job is actually like, and how recruiting in the industry works. We will use the first half of the hour for a short presentation (what would a consulting event be without PowerPoint?), and the second half for a Q&A.

The Job Search

It’s challenging to figure out where to start your job search, especially for the first time.

The session has a specific focus on professional opportunities in social sciences, public policy, and business, but the skills and insights discussed will apply to job-hunting in any field.
