I had my interview in November 2008 in a café in the city center. The Alumnus graduated in 1998 and holds a very senior position in a leisure company. The interview lasted more than one hour. Among the several questions I was asked:
- my undergraduate and graduate degree (I have a MSc in Economics), and why I chose a career in Finance over Academia
- my current responsibilities at work
- the standard why MBA / why Kellogg / post MBA goals
- teamwork experiences (e.g conflicts, negotiations, critics) at work and during my extra-cv activities
- clubs I plan to join at Kellogg
- how I can contribute to the Kellogg community
It was my first interview and I did not performed as good as I expected (in fact I was dinged). It is crucial to prepare well doing mock interviews, to answer concisely and effectively and to have very clear your story. Good luck to every applicant!
