Written summary

In this first Consulting School module “Become a consultant? Test your dreams and understand wish and reality of consulting life”, we start by evaluating your personal motivation for a consulting job. As part of YOUinConsulting's job test, I exclusively reveal to you in a fun way the truth (or falseness) of the most fascinating consulting life myths, so that we can assess whether your individual expectations about the job meet reality, and, through your test score, find out whether or not you are born to become a consultant!

In a consulting industry 101, we will discuss what expertise and advice consulting firms actually offer, how they organize their services, and how the market landscape looks in order for you to better understand your personal opportunity landscape. Furthermore, I will discuss megatrends that are currently shaking up the industry and what these imply for you and your consulting career.

We then break it down into the different roles and responsibilities of individual consultants, which change and vary with tenure and specialization, so that you gain a perspective on how your individual career path may look like.

Furthermore, YOUinConsulting will leverage unusual means to familiarize you as early as possible with how consulting life may feel for you personally: through a series of authentic and truthful project reports you will find out how everyday consulting life really plays out — covering both light and shadow — to eventually find what consulting life certainly always bears: an exciting adventure!

Once you have confirmed whether you want to become a consultant and have gained a more holistic understanding of the consulting industry, I invite you to improve your odds of landing a consultant job from early on. This is the objective of module 1b: “Plan out your ‘perfect CV’ to significantly increase your odds of landing a consulting job”.
