How McKinsey screen resume
I am not god, but I will try to share my knowledge.
In general, McKinsey will review all resumes coming in from proper channel. This include direct email, school resume books etc. They rarely review resume submitted after deadline. You are required to act professionally from the very beginning.
The resume will first pass through the HR. They will screen out the obvious resume: mediocre school, mediocre grades, working for non-top company in the industry etc.
They consultants will read your resume. Normally, two people will read the resume, one specialize at the school that the candidate comes from; one represent the office the candidate is applying. They are looking for 4 things:
1. Academic excellence (Award, GPA etc)
2. Leadership experience (Social activities, especially leading roles)
3. Drive to excelence (Always wants more, contiued improvement)
4. Personal impact (less important in resume screening)
The best candidate is what we called unsecured over-achiever. It means that you are an over-achiever - successful in everything you do; and you are still un-satisfied with your achievement and want more and working hard for it.
