The good • More firms are starting to recognize the TMP program as fertile recruiting ground • Kellogg is supportive of TMP participation in the placement process • You tend to have more work experience than your full-time counterparts • You have demonstrated the ability to successfully manage a demanding schedule • The New Economy has made talented people harder to recruit, so most firms are looking more closely at “non-traditional” hires
The ugly • Many recruiters still go on campus looking for full-time students. Some are not even aware of the TMP program
Be positive. TMP Recruiting is getting better all the time
• Company literature • Web pages • Wet Feet Press • Harvard Business School guide to Management Consultants • The Directory of Consultants and Consulting Organizations • Periodical searches • Your peers/fellow students • Do not forget about the consultants! Remember: Kellogg Alumni help Kellogg students Create your own list of key requirements Measure all the firms against your key requirements Rank and segment the firms that most interest you Develop a plan to talk to every firm on your shortlist. You will need this for your bid strategy Remember, work is a four letter word: do not get caught up in the hype!
