How to write a resume for consulting roles
On this page
Consulting roles value: clarity, credibility, and outcomes.
What to highlight
- problem framing and stakeholder management
- delivery under constraints
- measurable results
- repeatable methods (frameworks, playbooks, standards)
Bullet examples
- “Partnered with leadership to define KPI model and reporting cadence; improved decision turnaround time by 30%.”
- “Designed a migration plan and executed rollout with minimal downtime; reduced operating cost by ~15%.”
Keep it credible
Consulting resumes can sound abstract. Use:
- client type (industry, scale)
- constraints (timeline, budget)
- outcomes (time, cost, adoption)
