@ Greggozo,
Mckinsey & co is arguably no 1 management consultant in the world and from my little research, very good company to work with. To say the truth, its very tough getting in, cos their recruitment process is tough, even from their written test stage (mind you, getting invited to write d test is d first hurdle u will have to cross).

They opened their office in Lagos (Ikoyi) few years back, so apparently they are still expanding their biz. I will advice u visit their global website (and later check link to their Nigeria office page), study the career section very well, to understand their recruitment process and what they particularly look for on CV. Trust me, just any CV won't get u the invite, check the key things required and include them accordingly. Follow this link http://www.mckinsey.com/

@Omidan21,
The correct email is lgs-recruiting@mckinsey.com (note d first letter is 'l' (lower case of 'L')). And about ur grade, I'm not sure what to say, but the point is, you will still have to let the cat out of the bag, sooner or later. I think u will still have to fill out ur bio and info on their career website, ur grade is one info they will require and I believe its best if u r honest with it at that point. Nevertheless, u might still send your cv without ur grade to the email given, but if they eventually asked, please be honest.

As for me, I was just checking online for somethings a while ago and stumbled on their recruitment process (knew they came to nigeria few years back). This fueled my desire to research more about them and eventually submitted an unsolicited application. To my surprise, they got back to me couple of days after requesting for more info about me, which I supplied. About a week or 2 after, I was invited for a written test (problem solving test) with a practice test. I went for the test last friday (25th april), saw some 3 other guys. Their office was cool, my kind of ideal place to work and the folks there were really profesional, especially the cute (I mean really cute) chick that conducted the test. Alas, 4am saturday morning, got a regret mail.
The test is just 26 questions for about 90mins, but its die-hard logical reasoning,with some element of calculations. I did try my best, but guess, it wasn't enough. It's all good experience though.

Wish u guys all d best.

@all the Mckinsey applicatn invitation would close tomorrow, 1st May 2013. To apply, go to their career pg, click apply now,den follow instructns.

@Zublaj: Thanks a lot for ur comprehensive explanation and sharing ur ideas + experience, I really appreciate. God bless.

@Gregozzo,yes,batch A

@miz Gene: Same here. I served in Lagos 2012 Batch A

@Zublaj: Please would it be possible you to remember and maybe share with us the kind of question u face on that written logical test u did. And also if u were to do that test again, what would u do differently?

You don't have to worry about the actual questions I was tested on, when you get the invite, a practice test which will be very similar with the one you will be tested with will be sent to u to prepare. Its going to be a replica of d actual test, I suppose its one of their past questions; it has answers, tips and explanation of how u determine the right one.

You will have about 3 or 4 scenarios, about different clients requesting the services of Mckinsey. This is what comprises of the 26 questions to be answered in 60 - 90 mins. A long passage describing the clients biz and current need, follow by charts, tables and/or graphs, all from which you are expected to deduce your various answers from. Each clients/scenarios are described separately to make up the 26 questions.

The key is comprehension and understanding what is actually expected of you to answer. Most of the answer will look right to you most time, its left for u to choose the most appropriate one. Some calculations are there too.

All the best.

@all pleasee what are d listed job positions on offer

pls sorry, be more xplanatory cos d procedure is nt even well defined in their website.
after clicking on aply nw, wat nxt?

@Zublaj: Thanks a lot once again for ur well explained guide. I really appreciate. God bless u immensely.

The practice test sent to those invited is the same one available on their website.You can go download it there.The questions in the real test seems a bit more difficult than the practice test.The practice test is just a guide as to the kind of questions to expect.
