In order, these were the questions I received:
- Tell me about a challenging situation you faced in a group / team situation
- How do you define leadership?
- Who is a good negotiator?
- Have you ever been in a negotiation where it wasn’t win – win, rather, win-lose or lose-lose.
- Describe an accomplishment you’re proud of.
- Why Kellogg?
- At Kellogg, students tend to get involved in a lot of clubs – which ones would you be interested to join?
- Where do you see yourself in five years? (When I said I was interested in consulting, he asked me about specific firms I might be interested in)
- What other schools are you applying to?
Then he allowed me to ask him some questions. I asked him the following:
- Tell me about your Kellogg experience
- Which schools did you apply to and how did you choose Kellogg?
- Did you go on one of those Global Immersion Trips?
- Have you had much interest this year from Australian applicants? To this last question, he replied that I was the first one he was interviewing for Kellogg (and that he’d interviewed a few in previous years. Also, he has 2 or 3 other alumni friends in Aus who have reported that they’ve been talking to a few candidates this year).
My interviewer was pleasant and generous with his time. He took the time to talk about Kellogg as well as his experiences post Kellogg. A good interview experience.
