I had an appointment with one of the career consultants at the Management School and it turned out to be a game-changer for me. As I had already set my sights on becoming a management consultant, the consultant gave me particularly helpful insights on what management consulting firms were looking for in CVs and how to attract potential employers. I made recommended changes to my CV and revamped my LinkedIn profile. To my surprise, four months later I received a LinkedIn message from a recruiter about a management consulting role in Sheffield that really matched what I was looking for. After several rounds of interviews, I landed the job at Pryce Williams Consulting in Sheffield, a reputable company providing specialist consulting and project delivery services for financial services sector clients. They have even offered to sponsor my visa after the first two years of employment.
