Folks,
Based on what we are hearing from our clients who are interviewing at HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Ross, Duke, Booth, Kellogg, LBS, etc., some new interview tips for you.
Before you go, a few reminders to be prepared...
- To speak to each experience on your resume in detail, if asked to, and don't be caught by surprise when asked to deep dive on a extra curricular hidden away at the bottom of your resume
- To introspect and explain what your REAL weaknesses are when asked - 7 of 10 people say they "over commit" and are "perfectionists"
- For a probing / not so casual interview, especially if you are interviewing with Ad Com at any school
- To discuss why you chose the academic track that you did or the undergraduate university that you did
- To discuss why you switched careers or companies if you did
- To explain your short term and long term goals in the context of your experiences
- To explain a major accomplishment in any specific role
- To discuss behavioral situations that applied in various professional and community experiences - e.g., tell me about a time when you faced conflict in company xyz
Hope this helps!
