Top Consulting Tip: "When embarking on the recruitment process for consulting, you should try to find interest or enjoyment in casing, as it will make the process much easier, and you will cultivate a passion for the different problem-solving approaches. Be very diligent with your application deadlines, and be consistent, as casing requires a lot of practice to continue to improve, as most things in life. So, practice makes perfect! Furthermore, finding quality approaches to casing, and the overall interview process is vital, so treat every case as if you were in the interview. Finally, the process is a great way of finding yourself, whether that be your passions, interests, and what makes you unique to those around you."
