Interview scheduled with an alum in a coffee shop
He explained the what a blind interview was, and told me the duration was 45min.
He then asked me:
- “Tell me about a time when you were given constructive feedback. How did you respond?”
- “Have you ever experienced conflict with someone on your team? How did you resolve it?”
- “Tell me about your experiencing managing people. Have you managed direct reports?”
- “What kind of leader are you?”
- “Tell me about challenges you’ve faced you have faced at your workplace and how you resolved them?”
- “Which book are you currently reading? Why did you choose it?”
- “Tell us something that you wished you could do differently
He then asked me about any questions I had.
The questions were hard, but it became fairly conversational and casual. We discussed for a while and I should say that I had foreseen this kind of interview and those questions, so I was happy that Berkeley didn’t have any surprises for me. It was a relief.
