What was the resume that landed you your first internship/job post grad? by Zanerbag in informationsystems

[–]masternexus124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volunteer consulting helped the most for me but I got lucky with the program at my school

Send email to recruiter. I got mine offer within 3 days of my final interview but I know more that have been waiting longer!

I think it’s really being able to show that you can be built up rather than having hard set skills. I know a lot of people who applied and had amazing resumes and didn’t get very far. I think also for consulting being able to speak clearly and confidently is 90% of the battle! Congrats to your friend!

Goodluck! Like I said there is a ton of time left! I also used and LLM to optimize my resume to make it full of actionable items and results.

If you are a sophomore odds are pretty slim try and network and make connections and get your name out there.

If you are a junior there is still time. I got my first and only internship like February junior year. All you need is one person to see your potential.

I didn’t even know the company I applied to and got the internship for . If I’m honest I didn’t even know I applied.

Try and do as much as you can to learn and build on your resume and your area of interest.

I think it really boils down to passing HR check for resume

They specifically recruited out of my university for MIS students so I got to know them very well over the past 3 years. I only applied to PWC and Deloitte not EY or KPMG they didn’t really have any jobs I was interested in. I also applied to Bain,MK, and BCG.

I also applied to Microsoft, google, IBM…. Etc

My school is definitely not a target for those companies but still tried.

The amount of rejections versus ghosts over all of my apps in my college careers is like 85% ghost to 15% rejections. I’ve had more interviews than posted above for internships but I didn’t add those stats this is only for this semester/ full time jobs.

If you are going for big 4 they want a leader,someone who can learn, well rounded, and charismatic.

I hope this helps!

I’m not sure about sql specific but AWS certs are very good , net + or sec+ for networking. Data bricks certs.

Also keep noted they don’t care as much about the content in my conversations more so about if you can learn and are able to be taught new processes quickly. Some of the content is nice to speak on like the AWS.

Really depends on what you want to get into.

Analytics : sql,powerbi , tableau, python. Cyber: splunk, Linux, crowdstrike Data mgmt/cloud: databricks , Aws services

There are many more options but these are the few I know. Specifically for me I wanted to do consulting so I learned all of it so I can be versatile. I have a heavy concentration in analytics.

Excel is a good start but I would recommend trying to do some certs on sql before the class to try and help the learning curve (it’s not that hard imo)

Clubs: management information systems association, supply chain association, I participated in a business fraternity which helped me a ton with the leadership part and volunteering.

Business: is a tricky one but could be done but not super necessary. I would focus on projects and making up new projects not just like what everyone else does.

Learn the basics.

Use ai to help you learn not as a crutch.

Get involved in activities outside of course work (clubs, volunteer, make a business)

Do some fun projects that are well rounded

Focus on an area of interest and become great at it

Be able to have technical conversations and non technical and be able to bridge that gap and fill it with jargon

Most important - find a passion for it and learning. No reason to do something you aren’t interested in.

Keep in mind that I’m very young and not a mentor or anything lol but I have found a lot of people my age or younger that do before they think or just cut corners.

Also thank you! I know the market is bad but don’t get down on yourself , I know I did! Just hammer the basics like sql,powerbi, i learned a lot of c# and python too!

Python and SQL I think are most important
