Club Night

[This post was published in Terry Blog, posting it here as it would have more relevance from the TCC's point]

Let me start by welcoming you, all new students and the old ones back after the summer, to Terry College of Business. Life is busy again, with Football season around the corner, Homework, Assignments, and Job hunt.

This post is primarily intended for all of you who aspire to join the Consulting Industry. Anyone who wants to know more about the industry in general, and where we stand in Terry in specific, might find it useful. As the president of Terry Consulting Club, I would share our experience from last year, and plans for this year.

Last year we had some of our alumni visiting the school to share their experiences of their consulting career, and to provide us the valuable inputs on how we can prepare ourselves for the industry. We also had regular sessions for Case Practice, a skill that is absolutely essential to be successful in the interviews, and one that can only be mastered through practice. The sessions on Case practice and behavioral interviews with industry people provided the important insight on what exactly do they look for in such interviews, what kind of cases we would get, and what would be the right approach. One good example would be the Deloitte Case Interview Workshop that was held in the school, whereas Capgemini one-to-one Interview practice session was in the Terry facility in Atlanta. We worked with CMC to contact the alumni network, and to arrange for such events.

The start has been good this year, with Booze & Co visiting the school for Case Interview Session and other queries that you had. I was really happy to see the huge audience, and thanks to your enthusiastic participation, the one-hour session was extended to over two hours. Show the same spirit and visit the Club Night on Thursday (28th Aug). All the clubs that we have in Terry would be present there and we all would be happy to answer your questions. This would be the opportunity for you to select the club that caters to your career need, whichever industry you are targeting, so don't miss it.

See you there.
