In Reply To: If you have any nouse whatsoever you would know that it is exceptionally easy to identify small consulting firms. In fact anybody who wants to be a consultant who can't research who the smaller consultancies are that are operating in the field in which they wish to work, probably will not do very well in consultancy. Identify which associations are relevant to the type of consultancy pou wish to enter. Then get a list of member firms from the association or go to your local business library which should hold much of this information too. the internet can supply names of very small one-man band type consultancies if you are prepared to consider working for one of these.
Message: I'm incredulous. Research skills are one of several abilities that any consulting job seeker should have down cold. Use it as a litmus test. If you can't easily track down something as simple as a list of smaller consulting firms, consulting is simply not a good career fit.
