Personal Interview Gyaan

Personal Interview as it rightly suggests is about understanding one's persona and hence a lot of commonly raised questions about oneself need to be answered before one faces the real interview panel.A few commonly asked asked questions in your B-School interviews are listed below

  • Tell me something about yourself
This is as open ended as a question can get,you need to choose your words carefully.Because what you talk about in this question is what will determine the overall direction of your interview to a great extent.Therefore direct the interview panel to your comfort zones using this question.Keep your language as simple as possible and avoid using a lot of business jargon unless and until you are truly aware of what you are talking about.This question can do more harm than good if not handled cautiously.
  • Why MBA?
The most commonly asked question in your B school interviews,which appears rather simple at first glance but requires a great amount of introspection on why you as an individual are interested in doing an MBA.The most common answer to this question would be "Better pay packages" and "Faster Growth",now let us assume for a moment that you are the interviewer and not the interviewee ,how fascinated will you be by coming across such a innovative and novel answer to such a cliche type question(I hope you understand that it was a joke).So try and think hard of what are your reasons for doing an MBA and not why the world around you does an MBA.
