the local vending machines for a sandwich
lunch. The afternoon was then divided
between phone calls and teleconferences with
inventory-optimisation workstream team
members, development work on an inventory
analysis tool and intermittent strategiclevel
discussions with team members. The
day was wrapped up by 7pm with a client
meeting to report on status and progress for
each workstream, followed by a return train
journey back to London and some informal
discussions on high-level aspects of the

Though there is no such thing as a typical

of a day at A.T. Kearney are the interaction

sales, and consultants are frequently engaged
when organisations are seeking improvements
in the underlying business performance.
A consultant's role is often to devise and /

desired improvement. The external viewpoint,
in-depth knowledge and experience offered
by consultants are critical to achieving the
goals of the business and to explore avenues
which will benefit its overall performance.
The consulting sector is not easily categorised,

studying Marketing BSc Hons at Lancaster
University. I knew I wanted to take on a
Marketing and Sales role within FMCG as I
felt the dynamic, competitive and aggressive
nature of the industry could offer me a
challenging and exciting career.
Through visiting career fairs, websites
and employment publications, I gained an
understanding of which opportunities were
open to me. The Nestle Salesgraduate scheme

sales based positions based in city centre

to start at the bottom of the pile. I was looking
for something that would provide more of a

mentally and culturally and also allow me to
make use of what I learnt during my studies.
The TUI Travel trainee scheme appealed
because of the opportunities and diversity of
the placements spread out over an 18 months
contract. With more than 47,000 employees
across the world and over 200 brands,
including two out of the three largest Travel
