How to tailor a Consulting resume to a job description
Consulting screens look for structured thinking and client impact, in tight one-line stories.
EXAMPLE · POSTING ASKS FOR CLIENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Before
Did research for a client project.
After
Delivered market research and recommendations that shaped a client's entry decision.

Terms to look for in Consulting postings
Use a term only when it truly describes your work. Then match the posting's own wording, since hiring teams and screening software both look for it.
One tip that helps most
Lead every bullet with the result, then the action, then the context.
A simple process for each application
- List what the posting asks for, in its own words.
- Match each ask to something you have really done.
- Reorder your bullets so the closest matches come first.
- Note the gaps honestly, and prepare to talk about them.
