The quality of the written material in the blog is superb, featuring a wealth of useful and interesting insights. However, when it comes to evaluating the course, it turns out that after every video lesson, there are articles with exactly the same content. What's the point? That is, I listen and then read the same thing, which diminishes the value of the course itself. It would be great if the articles and videos differed, with the videos containing unique material available only to students. During one of the lessons, a 1-hour analysis was presented, which seems like a rocket compared to the complexity of the rest of the material. This analysis requires each point to be studied separately to understand the terms and what it is about. Yet, it seems that the two courses I've completed are disconnected from this material and differ too much in terms of complexity, which is disappointing. I'm taking a course on unit economics, but it would be great if several such analyses were covered and given, for example, as homework. Similarly, with case interviews — to be given a task that needs to be completed. So far, the difficulty of the tests and this analysis are too far apart, making me wonder how prepared I will be for real consulting after the course.

The resume tips were very helpful. I was able to take all the industry specific words from past jobs that don't match with the field I'm switching to and make them sound relevant. I would suggest taking the LinkedIn requirement out of the project assignment simply because a lot of people struggled with posting a link that actually linked. Some of them seemed to get bogged down in navigating the site rather than focusing on the quality of the resume itself. Posting the experience part from their resume into the assignment box would be more valuable in my opinion. Lastly, regarding the case interview, it would have been immensely helpful to have a link to a video on YouTube which showed actual examples of good and bad case interviews. Really looking forward to course 3 where we get to practice the consulting process.

Thanks to Mr. John Kim. I finally got to learn about, how as a fresher I can prepare for consulting interviews.

I got to know about the various skills which are required by consultants, what is expected out of them in a project and how some different projects also have similarities. I learn the importance of Networking and how we can be better at networking to enhance our career in consulting in the future.

The first three modules of this course were not closely related to getting a consulting job. They were just thrown in together. Also the content about getting a consulting job would make more sense at the end of the certificate, as a call to action after the learning phase of the course.

Principles shared here are great for beginners seeking employment as a consultant. Would be great if scenarios for those that want to build a career/business as an independent consultant could be included.

The LinkedIn/digital resume Assignment wasn't helpful. Please change/remove from the course. Also, the networking section isn't as beneficial to those who have work experience.
