- Work Experience
My next internship is fully remote. Will consulting recruiters view that differently from an in-person internship, or is the actual work and impact what matters most?

- Work Experience
My title is in operations, but I spent about four months on a cross-functional strategy project for senior leadership. Can I position that as relevant consulting experience even though it was not my formal role?

Mayank G.CoachYes. Recruiters care about the work you actually did, not only the label on your business card. A meaningful strategy project can be strong evidence if your contribution was real and you can explain the scope clearly.
How do I show impact when my internship deliverable was never implemented?
- Work Experience
I built a recommendation during an internship, but the company did not implement it before I left. I still did the analysis and presented to leadership. How can I show impact without claiming results that never happened?

How should I present experience from a family business on a consulting application?
- Work Experience
I have spent a lot of time helping in my family's business, including customer analysis and some operational work. How should I present that on a consulting application so it sounds credible without looking like I am inflating an informal role?
