Consulting recruiting is entering its next phase. Many application deadlines are quickly approaching, and some firms are beginning to invite candidates to interviews. If you haven’t received an interview invitation, don’t panic—recruiting timelines vary by firm, and there are still opportunities available as we head into the fall.
September will also bring more opportunities to engage directly with employers through on-campus information sessions and our Fall Job & Internship Fair on September 30. Whether you’re preparing for an interview, waiting to hear back on an application, or continuing to explore opportunities, there are still important steps you can take to stay engaged in the process.
As recruiting continues to move quickly, please stay close to our Consulting Collections Page on to keep up with key application deadlines, employer events, and new opportunities.

🤝 Networking
Remember that the goal of networking is to learn—not simply ask for a referral. Focus on building a few meaningful connections, asking thoughtful questions, and developing a genuine understanding of the firm, its people, and its work.
When reaching out to Amherst alumni, be intentional. Start with one alumnus at a firm, follow up once after about five business days if needed, and prioritize quality conversations over the quantity of outreach.
Looking for firms to explore? Use the Amherst Alumni Directory to identify alumni at organizations you’re interested in. Here is also a list of alumni who have volunteered to connect with students. Please focus on one connection at a time and be thoughtful with their time.
