   Many of the top management companies prefer to promote internally. This is because they have spent the time and effort to raise up the people from a graduate entry position to senior positions. They know these people well, and their abilities. Although someone from the outside world may have the abilities, they have no real way of knowing how you would perform compared with those they have trained and worked with.

   Also, you may be overqualified for many positions, and they don’t want to pay you when they can load the work onto someone moving up the ladder.

   You have to consider too that most companies have very few openings a year. The top level companies typically hire 10-15 new employees a year from 1500 applications into their graduate programs. This means they generally would only take 1 or maybe 2 senior positions a year, if at that since according to Bain & Co. they promote their internal consultants to higher levels between 2-5 years of working there.

   Awesome! I must say in a way you are overqualified. People might be scared a sense that how much will they have to dole out to get you in. Though I beg to disagree that your resume is not being looked in. . . You should get in touch with top notch consultants. Also try internal references. . . apart from job portals.
