Bain portal doesn't let me update draft resume?

The first step in my Bain application was to attach a resume. I attached a draft resume just so that I could scope out the entire application and come back to my resume once I had finished working on it. 

Now, I can't go back and submit my revised version! I'm most of the way through the application, but when I go back, it doesn't let me go all the way back to the first step where I attached my resume. 

Kind of panicking since I was hoping to submit soon. What should I do?

Hi there,

you have to contact their recruiting team directly if there are any backend issues. Nobody here can resolve that for you.

Hi there,

First of all, I am sorry to hear about your situation!

I would be happy to share my thoughts on your situation:

  • First of all, please reach out to the recruiting team immediately to discuss this topic.
  • Moreover, for the future, I would highly advise you to refrain from high-risk strategies such as the one you have implemented for this minor procedural clarity.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to best prepare for your upcoming Bain pre-interview assessment and interviews, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen
