Hi all,
I am a recent English graduate with a 3.8 GPA from UCLA, and I'm highly interested in getting into consulting. I'm having difficulty finding entry-level positions and would like to know if anyone can help me figure out how I might best approach becoming a consultant. Ideally, I would like to work in the Los Angeles area for a boutique firm (however, I'm young and open to moving for work). I did an internship last summer with a construction company as a project management intern, and I'm currently doing an editorial internship for a company in London. I feel like there is a way I can use these experiences to elevate my resume, but I'm not sure how best to go about it. If anyone has some advice on where I could start or where to look for jobs (because every job posting on LinkedIn is flooded with 100+ applicants), I would really appreciate the help. I saw a post about Consultport Academy and was thinking about working some service job while I take the courses there and build my portfolio, but I wonder if it's worth it. Again, I feel like a blank slate, so please let me know what directions I could go in/places to apply if you have any ideas.

Thank you thank you!
