Resume Differentiation Through Non-Profit Experience: An Introduction
by
The following is an excerpt from the chapter of my consulting guide.
Consulting is an incredibly exciting and rewarding industry to work in. However, none of the global consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc) are going to notice you unless you have an extremely strong resume.
But what’s even more important than having a strong resume is having a resume that s different.
Your resume should say something about your personality if it s going to catch the attention of major consulting firms.Resume Differentiation
Students and young professionals constantly ask me how they should go about
Especially in India, many of these job seekers have very tech-centric or engineering-centric backgrounds. And without any meaningful differentiation to their resumes, these applicants will just blend in with all the other people with tech degrees and work experience in the tech industry.
The best way to stand out from the crowd of other tech-heavy job applicants is to find something outside of your tech background to make yourself more interesting to recruiters and interviewers.
When recruiters are sorting through hundreds of resumes, you ll need something that catches their attention. Engineering degrees and work experience are definitely valuable, but ultimately, they re also somewhat boring and commonplace.
While differentiating your profile, make sure that your additional experience is complementary to your degree or your earlier experience.
For example, if you re an engineer, your degree is highly quantitative and analytical in nature. So an engineer should try to complement those traits with softer skills, which transforms your one note resume into something multidimensional.The Non-Profit Industry
My favorite method for adding softer skills to your resume is finding work in the non-profit industry, specifically and
Organizations in the non-profit industry generally attract a lot of smart, talented, and driven individuals. And if you work in this industry, you’ll get to meet and work with these people!
Why is the non-profit industry so attractive? It s definitely not the compensation that attracts workers.
Rather, people work for NGOs because there are many great qualitative benefits.
During my career, I ve worked with multiple NGOs, most notably: in Washington, DC, where I focused on analyzing and developing environmentally-friendly policies. in Bangalore, where I provided financial options to the urban poor in and around Bangalore.
These experiences are among the most satisfying and rewarding experiences in my life. But in addition to the great work satisfaction, these experiences are also a great asset to my professional life because they add extra uniqueness to my resume, and the work experience from these NGOs make me more attractive and valuable as a potential hire.
As you re reading this, I want to emphasize that you should never pretend to care about a cause only to build your resume.
Working on something that you only pretend to care about will only end up frustrating you.
Non-profit work is just one of the many ways of differentiating your resume. Only seek this route if you truly believe in the cause and seek genuine satisfaction from your work experience.
But for those who truly wish to make a difference by working with an NGO, you ll get a lot of satisfaction from your work and will develop additional skills and strengths that will help you break into the
