A first consulting resume should usually be one page, easy to scan and focused on evidence of achievement rather than a long list of responsibilities. Recruiters know an undergraduate will not have ten years of professional experience.

Use internships, research, projects, campus leadership and meaningful extracurriculars. For each experience, emphasize what you changed, analyzed, built, led or improved, and quantify the scale where the number is real.

Do not fill space with weak bullets just to make the page look dense. One strong project with clear impact is more useful than several generic activity descriptions.

Make the hierarchy obvious: education, strongest experience, leadership or activities, and relevant skills or interests. The resume should help a recruiter understand your strongest signals in under a minute. For more detail, see the consulting resume guide.

Would you put a campus leadership role above an unrelated part-time job if the leadership role has stronger results?
