A useful starting point
Lead with a client outcome you can name without breaking confidentiality. Two pages. Skip a logo salad. Skip this if you have not worked in consulting — a corporate strategy secondment is a different example.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
Evidence to consider
- Problem, approach, result
- Anonymised client sector
- Team role (analyst, manager)
- Travel or language if the advert cares
Illustrative achievement bullets
- Cut a retail client’s stock-out rate 18% after a 10-week network review
- Built a 5-year cost model used in a board paper for a £40m decision
- Managed a workstream of 4 analysts across two countries
- Wrote a 30-page diagnostic in two weeks for an emergency bid
