The alumnus was a 2004 graduate and the interview happened in a cafe. It was around 35 mins long. Before beginning the interview, she asked me about the layoffs at my company and if my job was affected. Then we talked about some recent products that my company has launched. Then she started asking questions:-
- Tell me about yourself. Here apart from other things, I mentioned my interest in dance. On that she stopped me and asked if I ever participated in a famous dance competition that is aired on TV.
- She asked me some more about my undergraduate extracurriculars
- Why did you join company X? What do you do there?
- Tell me about your accomplishments at work. She probed on the different points that I mentioned.
- Do you have any weaknesses?
- Why MBA?
- Why Wharton? Here again she probed a bit. For example, when I mentioned the name of a course, she asked me if I knew the professor who conducts it.
- Questions.
The interviewer asked me more probing questions than I had expected. Overall it went well.
