应admin之邀上来写面经:
I got Duke interview from Russell, a Duke adcom. He is really nice and warm-hearted. His questions were normal. 不知道是不是我们之前有email的交流,所以他没有问我tough的问题。整个过程如下:
- duke面试是要出示passport的,以证明是本人面试,这点我觉得学校还是挺严谨的。因此,interviewer会上来让你给他看你下你的passport,核对姓名后,开始看你的简历。
- adcom看了一下我的简历,问我其中的一段W/E具体干了什么?然后我介绍了一下,说做这些是为了我的career goal。因此自然地把他引到了,问我的career goal是什么。short term, long term都问了。
- 因为我有个比较大的career change, 换了行业。 so he asked why you changed your career, how you got the job and how you convinced your manager that you were qualified for your new career.
- some normal questions. Like tell me your leadership experience, team work experience. (我不知道别人怎么样,我一直觉得这种讲story的question,特别容易让adcom听一会儿后lost掉。这里要非常感谢我的mentor和 bf,给我做mock的时候强调,讲story别按着时间顺序自己巴拉巴拉。举个例子:要说做leader的时候,first I used my strong communication skills.然后一句话展开具体做了什么 communication with colleagues or customers. Second, I delegated task to my team member... 最后来个总结,比如这个experience令我的communication skills...都得到了提升。)
- how your manager describes you? then, how about your colleagues?
- why MBA?
- why duke?
- any special activity at Duke you want to participate?
- what can you contribute to your future classmates?
- What kind of quality about you, you want me to talk to admission committee?
- what other schools you applied? 这个问题我觉得我的mentor给我的建议特别好,他说如果回答没有肯定显得不够真实,但是也不要完全据实回答。投得时候大家肯定投得很多很杂,但是要挑几个跟自己面的学校相关的说出来,重要的是你选这些学校背后的logical thinking.比如 duke,you can say. though my experience focus on..., I want to broaden my expertise. So I prefer to join a well- rounded school, which has good reputation on general management. Then,I choose, maybe, Duke, Darden, Wharton.
- any question you want to ask me?这个他会一直问下去,所以如果大家以后碰到Russell要准备至少5个以上的问题。我和bf,都是他面的,最后都被他问得没问题了,然后不好意思的说that's all,而不是他主动说结束的。
整个面试过程一个小时,是我所有面试中最长的,因为今年貌似duke interview发的少,他往年一天要面7、8个人,今年只面5个,所以每个人聊得时间都长了点。
以下是我准备面试时,从网上搜的面经中,有人说的他还问过的问题,但是那天没有问我,发上来提供更多信息吧,有些还挺tough的:
- your weakness?
- your leadership style?
- do you meet some ethical challege at work?
- your most important achievement?
- 男女员工对待一件事情是否有不同观点。(这个问题我bf当时被问到了。)
- What leader of consequence means to you?
- TEAMWORK对你来说意味着什么?
- What dose diversity mean to you?
洋洋洒洒写了好多啊,希望对大家有用。
