  • Consulting Graduate Level Careers in CONSULTING – Resources And
    Graduate Level Careers in CONSULTING – Resources and Information First – know what you want and be specific Global Dev. Consulting Risk Mgt/ Tech Finance Consulting Consulting Consulting Human Capital/ Strategy Change Management Consulting Consulting In essence, consultants are hired advisors to corporations who tackle a wide variety of business problems and provide solutions for their clients. Consulting is a big, one-size-fits-all term that includes virtually any form of advice- giving. For example: Strategy Consulting consists of providing strategic or operational advice to top executive officers in Fortune 500 companies. Representative firms include Accenture, A.T. Kearney, Bain, Booz Allen Hamilton, The Boston Consulting Group, Marakon Associates, Mercer Management Consulting, McKinsey, and Monitor Group. Boutique Firms specialize along industry or functional lines. Although often smaller, these firms may have top reputations and do the same operations and strategy work the elite firms do, but with more of an industry focus. Representative firms include Cornerstone Research (litigation support), Gartner (high tech research), and PRTM (high tech operations). Technology Consulting often takes place in the bowels of the client organization. In general, this kind of consulting job requires large teams of people who actually do the computer work. As a result, there are usually more opportunities for people with technical backgrounds. Representative firms include Accenture, BearingPoint, Capgemini, Computer Sciences Corporation, EDS, HP Technology Solutions Group, IBM Global Services, Novell, Oracle, SAP, and Synopsis. Human Capital or HR Consulting includes everything from designing an employee evaluation and compensation system to conducting organizational effectiveness training to helping an organization through a significant change event, such as a merger.
