beachball, thanks for the prompt response.
I am currently attending University of British Columbia, which is not a target school for HK firms. I think it has a sound reputation in HK as many grads go back to HK to work.
One thing I am having particular difficulty in is finding out the deadlines for these firms, I found out that most of the Beijing/Shanghai office deadline is Oct 30, but can't find the deadline for consulting firm recruitment in HK.
Also, how effective is it to cold call? Consultants are extremely busy and work around 80+ hours at peak times, so if I put myself in their shoes I wouldn't particularly appreciate a cold call. But if it works I will not mind trying it.
A little bit background about myself:
Average 82%, which is top 15% in faculty. Top marks are in numerical and analytical courses (96-98%) Extremely involved with President/Vice President Roles. Experiences with case competitions as well as winning them. Average work experience, mostly clerical or administrative work experience, no real internship at a large company (I would say this to be my biggest disadvantage). Speak/Read/Type (can't write too much, but can type everything on computer) fluent Cantonese and Mandarin
