Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
In short, I think your books gives candidates an invaluable insight into the interview process, what is going to happen, and what is expected of them and what they need to know. I believe it's paramount to have a competitive edge over "the rest" of the applicants. I commend you on your work ! (University of Milan MBA)
Not withstanding my own credentials, I believe that the Wet Feet guides contributed to my ability to focus on getting through what can seem like a very artificial process (i.e. the case interview). Now that I have nailed down three offers at top consulting firms, I look forward to a relaxing holiday with family and friends. (MIT graduate student)

5.0 out of 5 stars
best foot forward,
By A Customer
This review is from: Killer Consulting Resumes: The WetFeet Insider Guide (Paperback)
Everyone's got an opinion on how best to organize your resume, but I figured I'd get some professional advice on the subject. WetFeet's guide on how to construct a killer consulting resume was a godsend. By reading through this in-depth guide, which had a bunch of "bad" and "good" examples of resumes to look at, I felt more confident in making tweaks and improvements to my resume. It confirmed that some of the things i'd already done were right; and it also showed me the areas I really need to beef up as well as clean up. Anyway, the proof is in the pudding--I've snagged a few interviews at consulting companies. Now for the interviews! I'll be looking at your articles on the website for guidance there!

Opens Bain's or McKinsey's doors.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Killer Consulting Resumes: The WetFeet.com Insider Guide (Wetfoot.Com Insider Guide) (Spiral-bound)
This is a must have for anyone applying to Bain or McKinsey ! You'll end up with a perfect resume and a wonderfull cover letter. In my opinion, it can event be a life saver in case of a "failed" interview. The interviewer will give you a second chance if your resume is convincing. This book is one of my year's best buy. A suggestion for the next edition : one more section - "Thank you notes" examples.
