Consulting internships

Hi there, 

It's hard to give specific advice without specific information about your academic/professional background. Here are some general recommendations: 

1. Timing: Consulting internships are often competitive, with application deadlines months in advance. For summer internships, applications typically open in the Fall of the previous year. It's a bit late for most firms this year, but it's worth poking around websites.
2. Target firms: Educate yourself on the firms in the region/city you're targeting -- MBB (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), Big Four (Deloitte, EY, PwC, KPMG), Tier 2 / Boutique Consulting Firms (Roland Berger, Oliver Wyman), and beyond; understand their practice areas of focus
3. Application Requirements: A strong CV tailored to highlight analytical, problem-solving, and teamwork skills is crucial. Include any relevant work experience (ideally brand names in your region), coursework, projects, or extracurricular activities that show you have analytical chops, business judgment, and communication skills to succeed. I'm happy to work with you to develop a strong consulting CV.
4. Networking: Leverage LinkedIn or alumni networks to connect with consultants or recruiters in Middle Eastern offices. This can provide insider insights and recommendations. Ideally, you should get a referral to increase your chances of being selected for an interview -- can share more on application/networking strategy. 

Beyond the steps above, you should also start looking into the interview process using the resources on this platform and beyond. If you get a shot to interview, you must be ready for the fit and case interviews ahead!
