By Lauren Celano, CEO, Propel Careers
 In light of the upcoming Feb 19th FILS event focusing on consulting career paths, I decided to re-post a blog that I wrote focusing on what consulting firms look for in candidates. I wrote this from the context of a Ph.D. or postdoc entering consulting, but the information also applies to MBAs or others looking to enter the field.
Consulting firms look for people who have a passion for developing technologies and a genuine interest in the business side of science. They look for excellent communication, presentation, and writing skills and a strong network. They want someone driven who has demonstrated a career progression towards consulting.
