I am a supply chain management consultant with a Big 5 consulting firm in Australia. I'm looking for a change in location to the US. Since it looks impossible to be able to transfer within my own firm to the US, I have been considering applying to some of the US Big 5 / Strategy firms. I could adopt one of 4 approaches :
1. Send in my resume through someone who works in the company (though they might be in a different area / location)
2. Apply directly through the web site / internet
3. Send a hard copy of my resume by post and follow up by phone
4. Contact a headhunter who can help.
Any advice on your experiences on which approach works best would be much appreciated. In case I do not have a contact, what is the best alternative?
My target companies include : AT Kearney, Accenture, CGE&Y, Kurt Salmon
Cheers
