How are consulting profiles offered at b- schools during placements? Is it based on the specialization?
Hello Rakesh,
Management consultancy is an exciting career path for those candidates who are interested in how a business works, mainly its strategy, structure, management and operations.Management consultants help businesses improve their performance and grow by solving problems and finding new and better ways of doing things. They also help in developing an organisations services and even reducing costs and make savings.Many consultancy firms offer services across all areas of business – from HR and marketing, to IT and finance so for that they prefer to hire people who have specialisations in the respective fields. Even though many of the large consultancy firms recruit graduates straight from university, an aptitude for client handling, listening, strategic planning, business analysis and team-building are the most attractive qualities for a sucessful consultant. The degrees in management may be a beneficial for an employee but generally consultancy is not a degree-specific industry. The overall personality and soft skills are basic traits employers look for in their employees.
Good Luck!
