Winter 2012 Recruiting Schedule

Recruitment Information

Bruin Consulting doesn’t require applicants to have business experience; we just want smart, driven people, who can solve a problem and articulate a solution. Our recruitment process involves an application, a first round interview with behavioral questions and a case, and a second round interview with more behavioral questions and a more extensive case.

If you have any questions about the application, recruitment process, or the organization, email Shan Aggarwal at shanaggarwal2@gmail.com.

Be prepared to answer behavioral questions that highlight your leadership, why you are interested in BC Solutions, and why you would be a good contribution as a consultant.
More importantly, prepare to answer a case question that will test how you think.

• Case Example: Assuming you are flying at 40,000 feet without WiFi and you strike up a conversation with your neighbor about starting a joint venture in the candy industry. Without the help of outside resources, you need to estimate the Starburst market in the United States right now to see if this is a good idea. How would you do this? Feel free to make estimates and assumptions and be sure to provide an actual numerical answer at the end.

About

Bruin Consulting (BC) is a non-profit consulting organization established and managed by UCLA students. BC rigorously recruits and thoroughly trains UCLA’s most talented and business oriented undergraduates in order to provide implementable consultancy services for its clients. By bridging the gap between a comprehensive theoretical education and an applicable business setting, BC provides its consultants the opportunity to thrive in the field of management consulting and beyond. BC works with approximately five to six different companies annually on projects that last four months each. Each project is delegated to and executed by a group of four to five consultants, which includes an experienced Project Manager who directs the team. Outside of the immediate consultants working on the project, the BC Board of Directors oversees each team’s progress throughout the duration. The Board of Directors is also responsible for managing client relations, coordinating internal and external events, and executing general principles defined within the BC Mission Statement. Our mission is thus: we are focused on building value for our community of client organizations and UCLA students. To our students, we emphasize professional and personal growth by developing analytical and creative intellectual capital. To our clients, we strive to provide innovative, yet tangible solutions which lead to optimized decision making and increased productivity.
