Well, I just got off the phone from my interview, and it was… mixed.

My interviewer was nice but quite formal. He was a second year student. He started out by asking me to describe my profile, or how he should remember me. I think I handled that one okay, but many of the other questions I felt like I rambled a bit.

Other questions included asking about my entrepreneurial experiences, why Ross, what does action based learning mean to me, why I was changing careers (and then two follow up questions on that, which really made me think that I didn’t explain it well at all), three weaknesses, and a behavioural question about a challenge I faced in a team environment, how I handled it and what I learned from it. This isn’t the right order, but you get the idea.

I think the part that went best was when I asked questions. I came up with some good ones that really caused him to go into some detail about his experience at Ross and that was what I wanted.

One thing that threw me off was that he started the interview by complimenting me on my profile. It got me confused about whether he’d seen the whole application (he hadn’t – I asked him later) and just really surprised.

Also, I’m sick today, so I think that my rambling can be at least partly attributed to that. (Even my writing is kind of rambling and disorganized!) Hopefully I didn’t mess up my chances, but I didn’t want to cancel the call.
