Craft Your McKinsey-Grade Resume (with an ex-McKinsey Who's Reviewed >1000)
This one is for a resume that's close. Not a teardown — a final pass to make sure it clears the MBB bar before you submit. If your resume is still in pieces, or you already know the content needs real work, buy the Creation & Writing package instead. This is the last mile, not the whole road. What's included: (1) A full read and detailed line-level edits. (2) As many rounds as it takes, usually one to three. (3) Bullet-level work: impact first, quantified, concise, and legible to a reader who doesn't know your industry. (4) Formatting: clean, simple, enough white space to read comfortably. (5) My MBB resume template, if you want to move onto it. (6) A live final review if that's the faster path.
What's included
- A finished, submit-ready consulting resume
- Feedback from a former McKinsey interviewer who read hundreds of applications
- As many rounds as it takes to get there
- A live final review if you want one
