WEATHERHEAD CONSULTING GROUP

 

Proposed Activities for 2007– 2008

The activities below are tentative, please check for updates and date announcements


Case Interviewing Skills

The consulting club proposes to conduct a couple of Case Interview Preparation Camps for first and second year students. These camps would be conducted with the help of Consultants from the industry and specialized trainers. The focus of these camps would be on imparting the all important case interview skills and opportunities to practice and fine tune these skills.


Case Interview Practice Sessions

The consulting club is conducting weekly Case Interview practice sessions for first and second year students. Consulting Club will be partnering with the Career and Student Life Center to coordinate this program for students. The focus of these camps would be on facilitating students to schedule regular sessions for case interview practice. Ideas for next semester are to not only continue these practice sessions, but to have the result of the preparation culminate in mock interviews with alumni working at consulting companies. These practice sessions will be held every Friday from 1:15p.m. to 3:15 p.m. Exceptions will be declared holidays and days when other programs are to be held. We need the support of all students so that everyone benefits from this.


Functional Area Review Sessions

Special review sessions from best faculty on functional areas would be conducted to assist in interview preparation. Often students forget aspects of the core courses which are tested extensively during case and general interviews. Focus would be in the areas of Strategy, Economics, Finance and Marketing.


Information Database

The club in conjunction with Career and Student Life Center intends to purchase more industry guides, employer’s guides and case interview preparation tools from Vault, WetFeet etc. These resources will assist members and students to prepare for interviews and careers in consulting.


Panel Discussion

The Club intends to hold two panel discussions focusing on the consulting industry as well as the current trends and opportunities in the industry. Each discussion will invite at least three consultants from the industry.


Resume Workshop

The Club intends to conduct two resume workshops for which we intend to invite 3 consultants to review and advice students


Dinner with Consultants

The Club intends to set up a small group student meeting with consultants from the industry. The idea being that the Club will sponsor a dinner for 16 students who will spend time interacting with 4 consultants.


Case Competition

Similar to the one held in spring 2004, the Consulting Club with the CSLC is hosting the annual case competition for the second semester students. The Case Competition will be a great opportunity for students to develop and test their analytical and problem solving skills.
