can anybody tell the ratio of applicants:interview calls:admits
People who have applied with two to three years of experience and have got a interview call, can you share your profile?
Dear folks,
Cut down the panic for interviews. Stop comparing others profiles with yours. Not worth the time. Know your post MBA goals properly. Know your reasons for doing mba properly. Know your essays inside out. That's it. Nothing more. As simple as a straight line.
anybody with a military background and GMAT Score with square root of 49 in hundreds place pls contact nine eight nine one zero eight two nine nine six for mock practice
FYI- Got a mail confirming that my application is complete. Hyderabad is my centre. Mail said that the interview call is given 5 -7 days before the actual interview. So have patience
anyone who thinks he had a solid profile, high
Anyone joining his own venture after MBA got an admit or preparing for R2?? will be great if we can connect!
Is "tell us about yourself" question common in ISB interviews? If yes, do I retell the excerpts from my application or should I tell them anything different?
Any reapplicants who received interview invites in R2 for Delhi region? Pl comment
what is the ideal duration for "tell me about yourself"
To answer @daredevilgen 's question about "tell me about yourself", which is almost always the question asked at the start of the interview, I am posting an article that my team-member had earlier written about it:
Q: Tell me about yourself:
This is going to be your opening question at the ISB interview, much like any other interview. Use it to set the context. This is not meant for you to speak out your resume bullet points one after the other. Instead, tell the panel your story - why did you take up a particular project? Why did you switch jobs?
However, keep track of the time. This is your elevator pitch and the answer should not be more than 2-3 minutes long. You can talk about your academics, professional life and/or hobbies, interests etc. - elements that tie in well with your story. The next set of questions can be based on what you tell the panel in this answer, so be wise about what you say here.
- Tell me about yourself: this is where you set the context
- Focus on stitching a story
- Stress on the 'Why' and not just on the 'What'
- Make it interesting, don't just list facts (i.e. resume bullet points) instead spend time on the transition from one fact to another
- Don't loose track of time
- Its an elevator pitch, don't make it last longer than 2-3 minutes
- Always prepare 3 versions
» Quick Intro : Not longer than a minute
» The standard answer : 2-3 minutes long (usually the most frequent one)
» Tiered version : Start with Quick intro and then then if asked elaborate on the key points.
What is the rough number of selections in Round 1. Any idea anyone ? Guesstimate Question? 😃
Using the Introduction Question To Your Advantage
The introduction question shouldn't be a re-run of your resume or your academics but should be a 1.5 min speech on what you stand for, in terms of qualities and achievements. Ideally, this 1.5 min period should set the tone for the rest of the interview. In-fact, if you frame your 'tell me about yourself' question smartly, you can direct the interview in the direction you want. One good example is finishing this reply by saying 'One key achievement in my professional life has been driving a strategic shift in the way production line was run. Through the experience, I evolved to learn about ownership and initiative-taking ability."
So, you almost tell the interviewer , what to talk about next (he should ideally be curious to know about production line revamp story). Similarly, you can think of other closing lines to introduction question. In-fact, if you practice enough, you will be able to direct 70% of the interview through-out. Again practice is the key.
Any calls for Delhi today? How many of you from Delhi have still not received a call?
