In Reply To: I should add, even worse it is when the guides just put together some information from a company website AND tell you to go there for further info.
Message: I suppose I should have added that I do not just have a strategic communications background, I also have lived and worked internationally (MA in IR), speak three languages, am culturally knowledgeable and have a security clearance. I have looked at the McKinsey Web site, but unfortunately Web sites do not always tell the "inside" story. I know that the Web site says they have positions for generalists but that doesn't mean that they may actually hire them. I also know most people are hired by referral and it is chance if you are hired by Web site. So, I don't want to waste my time if all McKinsey wants are MBAs. And I don't believe that questions are dumb...I asked what I wanted to know at the moment and received an answer. Perhaps it wasn't to some people's liking, but that's the way it goes.
