I came out of a meeting with a US-based client at around 9 PM (IST) ready to go home only to find that someone was calling from a number starting with +1979... It was a US country code but a very unfamiliar state code.
It was only when the person at the other end asked for me by name, did I remember that I had completely forgotten about my Mays interview scheduled for today at 9 PM (IST)!!! I had scheduled a Skype interview but realized that at that moment I did not have access to Skype from the office. The lady offered to reschedule the interview. But I requested to give the interview right then and there and she obliged.
1. Walk me through your resume.
2. Any managerial experience.
3. Why MBA?
4. Why Mays?
5. What Specialization?
6. Post-MBA plans.
7. Where else have you applied?
8. How would you choose where to go?
9. How would you differentiate yourself from the other Indian IT applicants?
10. Told me what her concerns about me are and asked if I can justify.
11. Any questions for me?
She then said that they might have an Adcom meeting before the end of this month and might let me know of a decision by Jan end. She then ended the conversation with "Talk to you soon"
Total interview lasted for 35 mins.
