Very engaging course from the management consulting specialization. Although this course provides very insightful and valuable information, I wouldn't say it is completely focused on "getting a consulting job". It is more focused on advice, best practices, tips and tricks once that you've made it into a consulting firm as a new hire. However, strongly recommended for those who want to start into the consulting world.

Great course if you're looking for a consulting job. For someone not looking for a consultancy job, it was informative to learn what it takes and what to look out for in terms of skills and competences. I would like to have more information about being on the other side of the table (me hiring consultants).

The content is practical, relevant, and applicable to real-world consulting scenarios, making it a great learning experience for both aspiring and experienced consultants. One of the highlights of the course was the instructor, John Kim. His teaching style is clear, engaging, and filled with valuable industry insights. He has a great way of breaking down complex concepts into simple, digestible explanations. His real-world examples and case studies made the learning process more relatable and practical. It’s evident that he has extensive experience in the consulting field, and his enthusiasm for the subject makes the course enjoyable. The course structure is well-organized, covering essential consulting skills such as analytical thinking, communication, problem-solving, and client management. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on logical thinking and how to apply structured methodologies to solve business problems. The assignments and discussions also provided an excellent opportunity to apply what I learned, reinforcing key concepts through practical exercises. Overall, this course exceeded my expectations and has given me a solid foundation in consulting.

This course was incredibly insightful and helpful for understanding what consulting firms expect from freshers like me. It clearly defined the key areas I need to focus on and prepare for interviews. The frameworks, like PAR, provided by the professor were particularly valuable for long-term retention and practical application. Overall, it’s an incredibly well-structured, thought-through, and highly beneficial course for anyone aspiring to enter the consulting field!

Summary coursera course 2: getting a consulting job: Before: make a CV, resume, connect with relevant people Intro: submit CV, resume, looking for job Middle: behavioral interview, case interview Consultant must be personable inside & outside, have high IQ, and middle-up EQ, also a lot of modalities to tackle specifics & seeing the big picture. Overall, great teaching by Dr John Kim as always. Proceed to course number 3 :)

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.
