>Introduction:
>I am a former McKinsey EM, who was heavily involved with recruiting
>for 4+ years and observed countless McKinsey interview candidates.
>
>In 2009 I launched a case coaching service focused on building
>"consulting communication skills" to ace analytical and leadership
>questions.  My clients have had a 4-5X higher success rate than the
>industry average, with a final round conversion rate of 90%.
>
>I am sure your members will find my services valuable.  I offer two
>prep packages specifically for: clients who have imminent interviews,
>and clients who have cleared first rounds and wish to incorporate
>interview feedback.
>
>Seminar
>"How to avoid the pitfalls which 90% of case candidates fall in"
>(1) Intro.  Just what do Consulting Firms do, what do they look for in
>candidates and how do they test it?  Who I am.
>
>(2) Communication and leadership questions.  How can you tell a story
>that convinces the listener you have an attribute?  Which attributes
>do you want to convince the listener of to begin with?
>
>(3) Communication and analytical questions.  How do consulting firms
>want you to communicate case solutions?  How can you acquire these
>skills?
>
>Testimonial from current client:
>I'm a Harvard Law School alumna from the class of '07. I am writing to
>you to recommend the consulting interview coaching services of
>Sulaiman Ijaz, a former McKinsey EM who has an outstanding command of
>how to convey key interview skills and strategies in a clear,
>efficient manner.
>
>I think that anyone seeking to sharpen their interviewing abilities
>would really benefit from working with Sulaiman - his services are
>ground-breaking in their emphasis on communication and leadership as
>well as case analytics.
>
>In particular, I took the time to write to you today because now that
>I've seen what Sulaiman can do, I think that non-MBA students should
>be aware that they can reach out to Sulaiman in order to close the
>gaps in their interview prep.
>
>If I had access to services like Sulaiman's when I was a law student I
>would have been far less intimidated by the consulting interview
>process, and that might have changed the whole orientation of my job
>search.
