Expert Mentorship and Valuable Resources
- Application Enhancement
Securing an interview is often the most challenging part of the recruitment process. Our experienced career development mentors, many of whom have served on recruiting teams, will work with you to craft a compelling resume and personal narrative that sets you apart from thousands of applicants.
- Strategic Networking
Gain expert guidance on crafting effective cold emails, navigating meaningful coffee chats, and overcoming cultural barriers to build authentic connections with industry professionals.
- Campus Integration
Finance and consulting roles consistently seek candidates with a proven track record of leadership. Campus clubs offer one of the best environments to develop and demonstrate those skills. We have years of experience in helping students prepare and network for entry through providing access to a strong alumni network.
03
Personalized Learning and One-on-One Lessons
- Mastering the Interview
Behavioral interviews often determine whether you are seen as a cultural match. Our behavioral mentors specialize in helping you identify key experiences and craft impactful stories that align with what interviewers are looking for. Our behavioral interview coaching service can provide you with effective interview assistance.
Technical Proficiency
It is wise to consult career coaches who are specialized enough to get valuable guidance. Our technical mentors, each with 3+ years of industry experience, will guide you through 20–24 hours of focused, one-on-one sessions. From modeling homework to written tests and weekly check-ins, we use proven tools to help you truly understand—and master—what you’ve learned to succeed during technical interviews.
04
Strategic Interview Preparation
- Mock interviews
Our mock mentors are industry professionals who have not previously interacted with you, making them ideal stand-ins for real interviewers. To mirror the dynamics of actual interviews, where you’ll engage with a range of individuals with diverse backgrounds and personalities, we schedule multiple mock interview practices for students with different mentors. In these personalized one-on-one interview coaching, mentors provide in-depth feedback and actionable strategies to help you excel in behavioral interviews, technical assessments, and case studies. Additionally, they offer targeted guidance on stock pitches, market developments, M&A transactions, and industry-relevant scenarios. You can consult our career coaches to sharpen your responses and elevate your overall interview performance.

From Offers to Enduring Success
To help students secure full-time return offers, One Strategy Group provides a Return Offer Bootcamp before the summer begins. It sharpens both technical and soft skills, ensuring students make a strong impression during their internships. This is core to our mission of supporting long-term success.

End-to-End Support for Securing Ideal Job Offers
Full Time Placement Support
Our support extends beyond summer internships, with dedicated resources for full-time job applications. We ensure students are positioned for success by giving them access to a broad range of opportunities.
OSG Network
OSG’s exclusive alumni network spans across the US and the UK, connecting our students with a global community of like-minded professionals. Even after their formal engagement with us ends, OSG students continue to benefit from this network—gaining access to valuable connections, insights, and future career opportunities.
Whether it’s your first job search or you’re looking to switch careers, career mentoring can give you an edge. A mentor, and especially a team of mentors, can boost your confidence, help you perfect your personal story/branding, and help you stand out in a crowd of high-achieving individuals.
Career coaching is a type of coaching where professionals with a lot of industry experience offer you advice on the best career path for you. They will speak with you to understand your long-term goals and desires, and then work with you to develop a roadmap to achieve those goals. Whether that involves learning new skills, refining your resume, or preparing for interviews, we will provide you with relevant advice and information every step of the way.
For ambitious international students targeting finance or consulting, consulting career coaches and mentors for support is invaluable. They offer real industry insights and guidance specific to these competitive fields. An OSG mentor provides personalized advice, helps you navigate the job market, expands your professional network, provides mock interview coaching online or offline, and confidently builds your path to becoming a top candidate in your chosen industry.
