#MBA Interview #2: Prepare the content of your interview responses consistent with your application #diverseMBA
- Prepare well for the standard #MBA interview questions: ST/ LT goals, why MBA, why this school #diverseMBA
- For #MBA interviews, have examples of leadership, teamwork, dilemma, difficult situation, difficult decisions, etc. #diverseMBA
#MBA Interview #3: Prepare the form of your interview style consistent with your personal brand #diverseMBA
- Of course prepare questions to ask #MBA interviewer, but how do you stay present enough to ask questions related to dialogue #diverseMBA
- For #MBA Interviews, consider how you project your authenticity & stay flexible/ adaptable during the interview #diverseMBA
