Fisher Emerging Consultants (FEC)

If you're interested in consulting, consider the following questions:

  • Do you enjoy learning? Problem solving? Using your analytical skills?
  • Do you want a fast paced, rewarding career?
  • Are you flexible? Hardworking? Bright? Personable?

If you answered “yes” to each of these, consulting may be the right career path for you.

Consulting is a great way to begin your career after graduation, as it builds on the knowledge and skills you developed in your undergraduate education while challenging you in new areas.

Refer to the resources below for details about consulting careers. Once you've done some research, call 614-292-6024 to schedule an appointment with Pam Park-Curry to discuss how Career Management can help you!
