  • Students converting campus leadership, research, or internships into consulting evidence
  • Experienced hires who need to show client, operations, or transformation impact quickly

Where this template wins

Use this for MBB, Big Four strategy, boutique consulting, internal strategy, and business analyst applications. The structure favors concise bullets that show ambiguous problem, action, and business result rather than long job descriptions.

Layout and content guidance

Layout
Single-column, ATS-safe layout with a strong evidence block near the top and no tables, photos, icons, rating bars, or decorative sidebars.
Font
Use a professional sans-serif font that stays readable in PDF and ATS parsing. Keep the body around 10-11 pt, the name around 19-22 pt, and section headings compact and uppercase.
Recommended headings
Education, Experience, Leadership, Skills

Section-by-section notes

Education

For campus consulting, include GPA and selective leadership. For experienced hires, move education below experience.

Experience

Use consulting-style bullets: situation, analytical action, stakeholder output, measurable result.

Leadership

Use this only for selective leadership, measurable ownership, or unusually strong extracurricular results.

Skills

Group skills by how recruiters search for this role. Keep only skills you can defend in an interview.

Common mistakes

  • Writing responsibilities instead of quantified transformation outcomes
  • Overloading skills while burying leadership and problem-solving evidence
  • Using vague claims like strategic thinker without a concrete scope or result
