Take one step at a time. Don't go into unnecessary detail about how you aced your business math midterm in your sophomore year at accounting school. Here are a few preparation tips from the Team of Freshersworld.com that books on interviews sometimes overlook.

Remember, as a fresher you do not have anything to loose but to gain. 

TYPICAL QUESTIONS THAT AN INTERVIEWER WOULD ASK

1.Tell us about yourself

The most often asked question in interviews. You need to have a short statement prepared in your mind. Be careful that it does not sound rehearsed. limit it to work/Study-related items unless instructed otherwise. Talk about things you have done well at your college and how you wanted to perform in the
first job.

2. Why Should We Employ You?

For this question, your answer should list out strengths that you feel are relevant to the job. Given below are some answers which could help you with your answers. However, structure them to suit your requirements. I have good co-ordination skills, Good analytical skills.

I can persuade people to see my point of view, and get the work done.My greatest asset is my ability to motivate people. Even during emergencies, I do not loose my cool. I have good entrepreneurial skills. I have consistently met my deadlines and targets Can say no to people when required to do so! I am very co-operative with my sub-ordinates, and would like to see them grow.I am a good team player.I am very flexible, and have the ability to work hard under difficult work conditions

I have the experience and knowledge relevant to this job (Here, give appropriate details and examples)
 

3. Do You Have Offers From Other Companies?

This is of course a difficult question to answer. Obviously, you must have applied to other companies if you are looking for a job or would have some offers from other companies already. Therefore, do not lie that you have not.However, you are on thin ice here! The interviewer could be checking your honesty. On the other hand, he/she may also be trying to find out how focused you are - are you applying randomly, or is there a well-planned strategy?

Whatever your answer, it should match your career goals.

4. What Salary Are You Expecting?

Try not to get into salary details early in the interview. If pressed, you could say that it all depends on the job, and would like to talk about it after a job offer. Say this in a convincing tone. In case you are asked this question in your latter interviews, give a direct answer. Do not sound apologetic while quoting the figure you have in mind.

What matters is from where http://drypen.in/personal-interviews/got-an-mba-what-matters-is-from-where.html It’s common knowledge that more than a degree, it’s where you acquired it from that matters. Now an “extensive” survey on management schools across the country tells us the same thing. Dun & Bradstreet India, a business information company which released a report on business schools of India on Friday, reveals that students from anonymous B-schools get a far less meaty starting salary than those who graduate from the premier colleges. In 2009, while graduates of top schools bagged an average annual salary of Rs 8.77 lakh, those from lesser known schools received Rs 1.93 lakh.

 

Classroom once again

The Indian manager is heading back to school. At the turn of the century, several top management schools of the country started preferring candidates with work experience for the Master’s programme. The trend has caught on, and currently one in three Indians has quit work in the pursuit of an MBA.
MBAs teaching MBAs

The survey revealed that 50% of the faculty in top Bschools are PhDs, whereas a majority of faculty in Type II and III schools are merely MBAs themselves. The study revealed that of the total faculty, 54% are full-time teachers and 38% are visiting professors. On the faculty-to-student ratio, the survey says that the best Indian B-schools have an average of 1:8.6 while schools in the lowest rung have larger classrooms with one faculty catering to over 13 students.
Lady managers

The skewed gender ratio in B-schools is slowly correcting. While females made up 40% of the 2007 batch, their population in class is now rising: female students enrolling in Bschools are growing annually by 7% as against an annual increase of 6% for male students.
Where are India’s management schools?

Traditionally, as most business activities were concentrated in western India, 39% B-schools established before 1990 were located in the western part of the country followed by the South and North. However, the liberalisation policy of 1991 opened up new avenues for businesses; consequently the number of management schools in the South and in the North rose significantly. Of all the business schools established after 1990, 41% are in South India and 37% in the North.

Harvard Business School Dean Nitin Nohria spoke about the perception problems faced by the business community globally, and what changes he's making at the school to set that right.

Here is a verbatim transcript of the interview.

Q: What are the key challenges you see them or the urgent changes that need to be made?

A: I have been appointed dean at a time when business as a whole and business education as a result has found itself at an inflection point. We have just come through the great economic crisis in the US—businesses have come under attack in all kinds of ways, trust in business leadership has been lost, many people are worried that business schools and the leaders that they have educated in some ways may in part have even been responsible for the crisis that was created. So you might imagine that being a business school dean right now is being put in a hot seat because there is a lot of expectation.

Q: Is it about damaged control if it was a corporation in a literal sense?

A: There was some amount of damage control but more than that I think there is also an extraordinary amount of opportunity on the other side of this crisis as well because even though we have been worried a lot about what is going on in the past, if you look to the future, it is actually a time in history when the need for innovation is so immense that it is staggering.

Think about the problems that the world faces whether it would be the environment and the need for us to find ways to either on the supply side create new fuels but on the demand side to create more efficient cars, whether you look at healthcare with an aging population all around the world, India maybe a slight exception, but nevertheless and we have to cure cancer, we have to find treatments for some other things that will allow people to live longer and healthier lives. There are opportunities in every field of human endeavour to take on major challenges that will affect the prosperity of humanity.

Q: Currently does the world think that MBAs are not ready to cope?

A: I think the world is not sure that MBAs are going to contribute to this problem and this is what I think business education has to address—which is business leaders have always been admired because they have solved society’s most significant and pressing problems. It is not the only player but think about anything important that has been done, whether it be the clothes we wear, the materials we consume, great technologies like the internet, any product or service you would imagine including financial products that have created prosperity for so many people. Business has been a vital part of creating prosperity throughout the world and if you look at the challenges that lie ahead, I think business has this opportunity yet again. I believe in fact that the next century is going to be a century of remarkable innovation and what I wanted to do at Harvard Business School, in fact my vision for this school, is that we should be thinking about ushering a new century of innovation at Harvard Business School and to usher a new century of innovation in business education.


Q: I am sure you spent the better the past two years trying to understand why people, why individuals and companies behave the way they did and why we are now in the grip of this economic crisis. The world is sort of coping with the actions of a few people at the top of several different companies, why do you think people behave so badly whether it is the USD 100,000 bathroom fittings or it is executives of auto companies flying in private jets to ask for bailout funds whether it is the most recent crisis, BP CEO Tony Hayward who had a great 28-year run but now seems to be the leader who can do nothing right, so how do you explain this?

A: When you are in the midst of a single crisis, you somehow seem to forget that this is not the first crisis that we have had. The history of humanity is full of examples of crisis that have occurred—all the way back to the French Revolution where we had rich people said why don’t they eat cake when people didn’t have food. So the history of sometimes people who are doing well getting disconnected from the rest of the population is not a new one and in recent times that it has happened again. But if you forget those moments or those blips in history, you have to remember there has also been an enormous amount of history in which business leaders have done remarkably good things for the world. I think what we have to do is to remind people of that better half that business people have just as we, as individuals, occasionally have a worse half and we have a better half, I think business people also have a better half.

So I think a lot of people got caught up in a short-term game but as we step back from it, my hope is that a lot more business people will recognise that playing business for the long-term and creating value for the long-term is a much more stable way of running a business enterprise and a much better way of creating value that is durable both for yourself and for the society.

Q: So if you are saying that this is not the first time, there are instances of this happening and it is the short-term approach and this giving into peer pressure—this could happen again, the way we do business is not going to then fundamentally change, is it?

A: I don’t think that we are at the end of crisis forever. The question that we have to ask ourselves is that can we learn something from this one and at least not make this mistake again, there maybe some other kinds of mistakes that we might make in future and in fact that is the nature of human progress, the nature of human progress hopefully is that you made one mistake and you learn from that and hopefully you correct that but then life is uncertain.

Q: One of the perceptions that business leaders need to cope with or deal with is the fact that they have seen these people who are out there just to profit for themselves, to lie in their pockets, so this whole debate and moves to regulate executive pay—where do you stand on that, what do you make of that?

A: I think that the society has never had any grudges about paying people or having people become rich if they become rich in the process of creating value for society. So if you are engaging in actions that generate value for society, if you keep some yourself typically I think that is a social contract that has long been accepted in society.

Take Bill Gates, take Warren Buffet, nobody complains about the wealth that the two of them have made because it is seen to be wealth that was made in the process of creating a lot of remarkable value for society as well. So when you create an enormous amount of value for society, nobody would have grudges. The wealth that you get as a reward for what you have created. In fact I think that incentive almost, is an incentive that society retains as a way to encourage people to do things that can create value for society.

When people get a little troubled about executive pay and high levels of executive pay is when it seems to have been done when no value was created for society or when value was destroyed and even as value was being destroyed, you could protect your own pay pocket that is what I think the controversy in executive pay is all about. So I am not in favour of caps, I am not in favour of trying to regulate pay to say let us put a cap on it, I am much more of the view that let us make sure that when people almost in a philosophical way understand that high pay has to be correlated with high value creation. And, as long as you do that, society will be quite comfortable with the money that you make.

Some, rather most organizations reject his CV today because he has changed jobs frequently (10 in 14 years). My friend, the ˜job hopper™ (referred here as Mr. JH), does not mind it. well he does not need to mind it at all. Having worked full-time with 10 employer companies in just 14 years gives Mr.. JH the relaxing edge that most of the ˜company loyal™ employees are struggling for today. Today, Mr. JH too is laid off like some other 14-15 year experienced guys “ the difference being the latter have just worked in 2-3 organizations in the same number of years. Here are the excerpts of an interview with Mr. JH:

Q: Why have you changed 10 jobs in 14 years?
A: To get financially sound and stable before getting laid off the second time.

Q: So you knew you would be laid off in the year 2009?
A: Well I was laid off first in the year 2002 due to the first global economic slowdown. I had not got a full-time job before January 2003 when the economy started looking up; so I had struggled for almost a year without job and with compromises.

Q: Which number of job was that?
A: That was my third job.

Q: So from Jan 2003 to Jan 2009, in 6 years, you have changed 8 jobs to make the count as 10 jobs in 14 years?
A: I had no other option. In my first 8 years of professional life, I had worked only for 2 organizations thinking that jobs are deserved after lot of hard work and one should stay with an employer company to justify the saying ˜employer loyalty™. But I was an idiot.

Q: Why do you say so?
A: My salary in the first 8 years went up only marginally. I could not save enough and also, I had thought that I had a ˜permanent™ job, so I need not worry about ˜what will I do if I lose my job™. I could never imagine losing a job because of economic slowdown and not because of my performance. That was January 2002.

Q: Can you brief on what happened between January 2003 and 2009.
A: Well, I had learnt my lessons of being ˜company loyal™ and not ˜money earning and saving loyal™. But then you can save enough only when you earn enough. So I shifted my loyalty towards money making and saving “ I changed 8 jobs in 6 years assuring all my interviewers about my stability.

Q: So you lied to your interviewers; you had already planned to change the job for which you were being interviewed on a particular day?
A: Yes, you can change jobs only when the market is up and companies are hiring. You tell me “ can I get a job now because of the slowdown? No. So one should change jobs for higher salaries only when the market is up because that is the only time when companies hire and can afford the expected salaries.

Q: What have you gained by doing such things?
A: That's the question I was waiting for. In Jan 2003, I had a fixed salary (without variables) of say Rs. X p.a. In January 2009, my salary was 8X. So assuming my salary was Rs.3 lakh p.a. in Jan 2003, my last drawn salary in Jan 2009 was Rs.24 lakh p.a. (without variable). I never bothered about variable as I had no intention to stay for 1 year and go through the appraisal process to wait for the company to give me a hike.

Q: So you decided on your own hike?
A: Yes, in 2003, I could see the slowdown coming again in future like it had happened in 2001-02. Though I was not sure by when the next slowdown would come, I was pretty sure I wanted a ˜debt-free™ life before being laid off again. So I planned my hike targets on a yearly basis without waiting for the year to complete.

Q: So are you debt-free now?
A: Yes, I earned so much by virtue of job changes for money and spent so little that today I have a loan free 2 BR flat (1200 sq.. feet) plus a loan free big car without bothering about any EMIs. I am laid off too but I do not complain at all. If I have laid off companies for money, it is OK if a company lays me off because of lack of money.

Q: Who is complaining?
A: All those guys who are not getting a job to pay their EMIs off are complaining. They had made fun of me saying I am a job hopper and do not have any company loyalty. Now I ask them what they gained by their company loyalty; they too are laid off like me and pass comments to me “ why will you bother about us, you are already debt-free. They were still in the bracket of 12-14 lakh p.a. when they were laid off.
Don't miss next 2 Questions...


Q: What is your advice to professionals?
A: Like Narayan Murthy had said “ love your job and not your company because you never know when your company will stop loving you. In the same lines, love yourself and your family needs more than the company's needs. Companies can keep coming and going; family will always remain the same. Make money for yourself first and simultaneously make money for the company, not the other way around.

Q: What is your biggest pain point with companies?
A: When a company does well, its CEO will address the entire company saying, ˜well done guys, it is YOUR company, keep up the hard work, I am with you. But when the slowdown happens and the company does not do so well, the same CEO will say, It is MY company and to save the company, I have to take tough decisions including asking people to go. So think about your financial stability first; when you get laid off, your kids will complain to you and not your boss.

So it's natural that Nair didn't think twice before rewriting the rules of the recruitment game for his bank.
In his hunt for talent from the Indian Institutes of Management, Nair offered a 12-year fast-forward for young graduates - direct appointment as a Scale III officer (at Rs 500,000 plus other substantial benefits). That's a game-changer for public sector banks which tend to set great store by seniority to move up the corporate ladder.

The other option was a three-year contract with annual market-linked salaries of Rs 900,000. Most of the 60-odd MBAs opted for the first option at a time when job stability was the key. In fact, Union Bank was the largest public sector bank recruiter from IIMs in the last season. That was the signal public sector banks gave MBAs to make them feel that they are a class apart from other generalists who join as probationary officers.

There is of course a differentiation within B-Schools. Typically, those from the IIMs, Xavier Labour Relations Institute and Indian School of Business joined at Scale III, but graduates from other B-schools were recruited in Scale II.

But compensation was just the first entry point for these MBAs. Mentoring - a hitherto alien concept in public sector banks - was the second.

Most public sector banks have asked senior bank executives to take on the role of mentoring to guide the MBAs during the first year.

A public sector bank executive says existing managers also had to be mentally conditioned to deal with the B-School graduates. "Their expectations might be different, so they needed to be handled differently," he says.

The biggest challenge was, of course, the cultural gap. A mentor recalls how a recently-hired B-school graduate was reluctant to send Diwali greetings to key customers on behalf of the chairman. The mentor had to use his best persuasive skills to convince the employee that it was a vital part of the job and egos shouldn't come in the way.

"They are brilliant, but they can also be ivory tower theoreticians. A mentor with the right kind of experience and knowledge can help the kids come down to earth," a public sector bank chief says.

In order to make them feel special - HR experts refer to the practice as ego massage - several of these banks are also organising exclusive sessions with the chairmen. The job profile also differs from the generalists - the jobs offered to most management graduates need specialised skills such as risk management and treasury. This means they would not have to spend time at branches, which most probationary officers do.

A bank chief said the training module for the B-school graduates was also different though they also spend time at the in-house training academies. "They attended a two-week induction programme to understand their likes and dislikes, hobbies, and other personal aspects. We also take their view on the areas in which they want to work and allocate those departments to them," said an executive at Bank of Baroda [ Get Quote ], which has hired 300 management graduates, including 18 from the IIMs.

The biggest carrot, of course, is the promise of a turbo-charged career. The MBAs stand a much better chance of rising to the top than probationary officer by virtue of their entry at Scale III. An ordinary probationary officer would take 10 to 12 years to reach that level.

But the jury is still out on whether the special treatment to the youngsters would work at a time when the job market is showing signs of opening up. A senior bank executive says the canteen conversation of the MBAs, specially from the premier schools, is generally over the next job opportunity.

But most public sector bankers think a 20 to 30 per cent attrition rate shouldn't be that big a problem (it's in single digits now). "We understand that some of them will leave us in two or three years. But even the short stint will help us learn," said the HR head of a public sector bank.]]> Personal Interviews Mon, 16 Nov 2009 06:53:04 +0000 Frequently Asked Questions in MBA Interviews http://drypen.in/personal-interviews/frequently-asked-questions-in-mba-interviews.html Why do you think you would enjoy your chosen area of study (Eg: Marketing)?

"Marketing is the key to the growth and success of any organization. This field has always attracted me because it requires a combination of creativity, strategic and analytic ability – the qualities that a marketing guy must possess."

How do you spend your spare time?

"I have a good collection of books of different genre and enjoy reading. In addition, I love driving during late evenings or on rainy weekend afternoons. Also, for the last two years I've been volunteering at the local children's hospital on Saturday mornings."

(Make sure you actually READ!)

What are your weaknesses?

"I used to be somewhat disorganized, but eventually this got me into trouble when I missed an appointment I hadn't written down. It was clear that I had to learn how to be more organized. So, with the help of my senior colleague we worked out a system that I still use today. Not only do I stay on top of things, but I'm more efficient, too. "

The first thing you need to do prior to interviewing is assess yourself. This includes listing your strengths and weaknesses, your accomplishments and achievements, reviewing your strong and your weak subjects, and recording some of the key decisions you have made in your life.

You should then review your interests, the disappointments you've encountered, your work environment likes/dislikes, your business and personal values, your goals, needs, restrictions, and life style preferences. It would help if you're ready to practice answering the following potential questions.

Don't tell the panel that you are looking for a "challenging job in a good firm with lots of money, status and glamour". Instead, you must convey to the interview panel that you have made a rational and informed decision about your career choice and your intended course of higher study. There are broadly four areas which your answer could touch upon:

 

  • Career Objectives: You could talk about your career objectives and how the two year MBA programme will help you achieve them.
  • Value Addition: Value addition will essentially be in two forms knowledge and skills.
  • Background: This is where you connect your past to your future. If you are an engineer, try and say that the MBA course and your engineering degree will help you do your job better in the company that you will join. You should be able to convincingly justify how your engineering qualification will help.
  • Opportunities and Rewards: You could also at this stage mention the opportunities that are opening up in organizations for management graduates. At this stage mentioning superior monetary rewards for management graduates may not be a bad idea.

This is the first question that can make or break the chance of getting the job. This question conveys a lot to the interviewing panel and many of them take a decision there and then- to accept or to reject.

A better way to answer this question is to describe your education, skills(Proactivity, analytical skills, commitment ) and abilities (Quick learning ability) and how they relate to the particular job. Emphasize the most relevant aspects of your background, experience, accomplishments, and characteristics but in a humble manner.

You may answer- “I am a creative individual who always keeps seeking inputs from environment and surroundings that may help me understand people which in turn helps me in building long term relationship.”

Preparing for the Answer:

 

Follow the steps outlined below to ensure your response will grab the interviewer’s attention.

  • Start with a brief introduction. Introduce attributes that are key to the open position- this will reflect your abilities which the interviewers are looking for.
  • Provide a career summary of your most recent work history. Your career summary must support your job objective and it must be compelling. Keep your response limited to your current experience. Make sure you don’t go back beyond 8-10 years.
  • Link your response to the needs of the recruiter. Don't assume that the interviewer will be able to connect all the dots. It is your job as the interviewee to make sure the interviewer understands how your experiences are in line with the position they are seeking to fill.
  • Try to come up with those points that could help you get control over the interview. You may refer some special achievement or some project handled, which may engage interviewer into a conversation and give you an opportunity to apprise him of your achievements and simultaneously alleviate the stress.
  • There you have it - a response that meets the needs of the interviewer AND supports your agenda.

In this way a dry question like “So, tell me something about yourself?  ” can be tamed so as to grab the opportunity to express your strengths and diffusing the stressful environment.    

So, learn this trick and run with it…

With knowledge of the company, you can demonstrate how you will be a good fit with the organization. Also, it will insure a more productive interview. Get company literature—through websites, library, company brochures, etc.

Ask friends or family members to ask you potential interview questions. Dress for Success; remember that you can also be judged by your appearance. Make a good first impression. Dress neatly and conservatively. The suggested attire for an interview is as follows:

WOMEN - suit, dress, saree, pantsuit; avoid flashy colors, avoid ill-fitting or tight clothing, wear conservative hemlines. Keep jewelry, makeup, and cologne to a minimum. Hair should be clean, neatly styled and away from the face.
