~My Background~
I have over 12 years of consulting experience predominantly in the data strategy, analytics and business development space in the public sector. I have worked within the big 4 at EY and have worked for startups and SMEs so have a broad portfolio of work.
As well as a consultant I am an accredited coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and have supported a number of professionals navigate to a career that fulfils them in the UK, Europe and US.
~What I can do for you~
I can help you with:
- Career Strategy: To help you understand if Consulting is the right fit for you exploring what your values, strengths, and experiences are so that you can leverage them to the role you want.
- Application Strategy: Who do you want to work for and why? What is drawing you to them to anchor your thinking during applications and if you don’t know or have multiple options, I can help you bring clarity to applying for roles and organisations that will be a good fit for you.
- CV / CL appraisal: I can help you highlight your transferrable skills and bring out the best version of you on paper for the roles you are applying for. I can also support you in building /reviewing your CV or Cover Letters, so they land with prospective employers well and get noticed.
- Strategies for Interviews: I can help prepare you for interviews by preparing an actionable plan that can showcase your skills, experience, and potential for both case and fit interviews.
- Mock Cases: I can provide you with real life cases from the best consulting firms in the world tailored to your situation. We will work through them to help you identify your strengths and highlight any gaps or weaknesses you can focus on.
- Interview fit preparation: You can use a session to practice fit interviews where I will help you review your answers, point out critical improvements and provide tactical ways to clearly structure your answers so they are articulated clearly, concisely and logically.
