Hello,I have a BSc, MSc and PhD in Physics and have been involved in University management for several years at the highest level. In addition, I have several academic publications in Physics. I also have some experience of retail management, having been Manageing Director of a fashion retail outfit for close to 5 years. I wish to know the best route to get into management consultancy in the UK.Thanks.

What about a former Silicon Valley executive with a diverse career in various markets and industries? Would you mind looking at my CV, as I have been summarily rejected by numerous firms?

Who says Tunde&#39;s a man? </n>Anyway - the issue may well be in terms of his (or her) position. Many consultancies, especially the large ones, have fairly set expectations for entry levels. It sounds like the recruiters&#39; reasoning in Tunde&#39;s case could go: &quot;Not an entry level consultant - too experienced / qualified; cannot hire as a manager as there is no previous experience of project management and consultancy, so no thanks&quot;. Having said that, strategy houses and several boutique consultancies can be more flexible
