What We Look For
Consulting can sometimes be unpredictable and the answer may not always seem obvious. Being inquisitive and looking for out-of-the-box solutions are vital core competencies for success in the field.
We look for students with analytical minds who are not afraid to ask questions, proactively seek solutions, and are able to thoughtfully communicate the rationale behind their methodology.
Creativity
You don't need to come from a certain background to break into strategy consulting. At Cardinal Consulting, we pride ourselves on staffing students from a variety of different backgrounds, cultures, and skills sets. We encourage you to share your experiences and story with us.
Critical Thinking
We look for students who are not afraid to step up and take the lead when they notice areas for improvement or upcoming obstacles. Being able to take ownership of your module and managing your own deadlines without a micromanagement from leadership is an incredibly useful skill set that is valued across industries and often viewed as a primary indicator of a high performer.
Diversity
We look for students who are not afraid to step up and take the lead when they see progress slowing down. Being able to take initiative without anyone asking is incredibly useful to consulting and to a career with Cardinal Consulting.
