Breaking into MBB with Dhanush from BCG

Welcome to Episode One of the 180DC Podcast! In our inaugural episode, we thought we'd include a guest from our sponsor BCG and bring on Dhanush Girish who is currently an associate in the realm of management consulting. Dhanush gives insights on his journey through his Bachelor of Commerce days at UniMelb where he got to engage in a plethora of experiences. In no particular order, Dhanush covers International Case Competitions, student societies, internships and also going through the application process itself which Dhanush does cover in this episode. Worried about prepping your CV and cover letter for consulting interviews to pass that first round? Don't worry, we've got you covered as we go in-depth into what to include and how to show your passion on those documents that do end up in front of the recruiter's eyes. And for an added bonus, we added a spicy question at the end (which will be an ongoing tradition for this podcast) that you'd want to know the answer to so make sure to keep a lookout for that!
