Hello MCA members seeking full time opportunities in consulting,
Hope everyone is enjoying the final weeks of summer!
For those I have not been formally introduced to yet, I'm Jenna, the newest advisor on the Parker CMC team. In addition to student advising, I will also be managing the relationships with the third party consulting vendors that Anderson partners with to support you in getting prepared for case interviewing. I am excited to be working with the MCA, alongside the amazing Dave Henry and the rest of the Parker CMC team!
With that, pleased to share the schedule of upcoming opportunities with the three vendors we work with: David Ovrhall, Marc Cosentino, and Peter Ho (formerly Peter Khusnitdinov). Please carefully review each opportunity, as well as the important policies to be aware of.

This policy is applicable across all vendors.

After they sign up, they’ll receive an automatic email with their login link and credentials.
