This course was incredibly insightful and provided a valuable introduction to the consulting world. It was packed with useful information and practical advice. One of the standout features was the assessment focused on creating a resume and optimizing a social media profile. The guidance offered on where to find examples and how to articulate a polished resume was especially helpful. Although I hadn't updated my resume in five years, I dedicated significant time to revisiting and refining it, using the excellent examples suggested by the professor. The fact that this exercise was part of the assessment was beneficial, and as a result, I now have a compelling, well-crafted resume that I feel confident about. I am excited to move on to the next course and look forward to seeing how consulting could be a great fit for my career change from a design background. I'm eager to deepen my understanding of business practices and gain more knowledge that will help me transition smoothly into this new field and navigate the industry effectively.

Este curso brinda detalladamente los aspectos a considerar para conseguir un trabajo en consultoría. Hay información de lo que las consultoras más prestigiosas solicitan y lo que como consultores debemos hacer para tener mejores resultados como futuros colaboradores. A pesar de que mi enfoque es de solopreneur, es muy valioso el curso porque me da "insights" para cuándo vaya a contratar a talentosos consultores en el futuro.

I learned a ton. John is an excellent teacher. As someone without a business degree, it was very helpful. I'm a principal looking to consult and mentor other schools around the country and it was helpful to get a business perspective.
