Years ago, I was sitting inside a Barnes and Noble in the state of North Dakota, of all places. I was in the thick of studying for the GMAT and was starting to feel burned out, so I decided to take a walk around the store to clear my head. A book caught my attention: "Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google." I picked it up, and started day dreaming about making it to Google after my MBA...yeah right!
Well, after plenty of trials and tribulations (you know: GMAT, essays, interviews, school work, internships, job search, and traveling the world), I made that dream come true. Sometimes I felt like I was running around with the speed and energy of a firefly trying to light up a stadium, but I finally made it to the other side - I am now a Googler, I love my job and things couldn't be better.
Along the way, I made friends who helped me with resume feedback, essays, cover letters, and interview preps; eventually I was helping incoming students and first years. Nowadays, every once in a while I receive calls from people asking for help with interview prep and so on. I get a kick every time I connect with someone new and help this person achieve his/her academic and career ambitions.
Lately I've been toying with the idea of taking this prep a step further and offer consulting services. I'm not looking to make a living like the big admission consultants out there asking you to drop a couple thousand dollars. I'm thinking of something small.
Now I need your opinion. I would like like to know if there is any interest from the community for a service like this. Feel free to send me a PM if you would like to chat.
Best of luck in your endeavors!
