Hi there,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by industry format?

That said, I think you know the answer here: If you're applying to design school, you'd want to apply with a portfolio (i.e. a design school CV format), right? Equally, if you're applying to consulting, use the consulting cv format!

Feel free to message me and I can provide you with 2 killer consulting CV templates!

Hi there,

Agree with Ian that it is unclear what you mean by industry format. In any case, you should apply with a CV and Cover as you would do for a generalist consulting position.

You can find some suggestions on what to include here: https://www.preplounge.com/en/consulting-forum/what-are-the-steps-for-a-journalism-major-to-get-into-consulting-10235
