Welcome Back!

We at the Cawley Career Education Center are thrilled to see students (and our fellow staff members) in person, masks and all. What a long, strange trip it’s been over the past 18 months! And while we are excited to welcome everyone back, we also know that we must get down to business. Because consulting recruiting has started, whether we like it or not!

[PS – Not interested in consulting? Delete this email. Our Business & Finance newsletter will arrive separately.]

How To Get on the Consulting Recruiting Train
If you are thinking about applying for consulting positions we strongly recommend the steps below:

1. Watch this video – Consulting 101 (new window). This takes the place of our in-person Consulting 101 workshop. 

2. Check Handshake (new window) for Company Events. Open up georgetown.joinhandshake.com (new window) and log in using your NetID and usual password. From there, go to –> Events –> type in “consulting” in the search box –> click on the “Sort ” button to sort by date so that you’ll know what’s coming up next. 

3. Register for the Consulting Niche Night Virtual Career Fair (new window). Over 20 boutique and niche consulting firms will be on hand to recruit juniors and seniors for internship and full-time positions for next summer. The event will take place on Thursday, September 9, from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. on Handshake.

4. RSVP for the Case Interview Workshop (new window). On Wednesday, September 8, the Cawley Career Center will host a case interview 

5. Get Your Resume and Cover Letter Reviewed. The Cawley Career Center has in-person drop-ins Mondays – Fridays, 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. No appointment needed – just come on by!  We are located in the Leavey Center across from the bookstore 

Finally, beginning on Tuesday, September 7, we will have 1:1 appointments available for students needing more help with resumes, cover letters and case interviewing. Look for appointments to be available for reservation on Handshake beginning Friday, September 3. 

Questions? Freaked out? Still not sure where to start? Email us at careercenter@georgetown.edu (new window). 

And again, welcome back!
