It was a cold Monday morning in Chicago. My interview was in Harper Hall (on campus) and was conducted by a 2nd year student. Her background was in consulting and will transform that into marketing. The interview was supposed to last 30 minutes. Mine was about 35-40 minutes long. I think at least 40-50 were interviewed for my day... and 90% of us were males!!!
The standard/expected:
- Why now?
- Why Chicago?
- What unique background/experience would you bring to Chicago?
- What's your role in a team?
- Tell me about a team project you liked and why?
- Career plan? Intended concentrations?
- Leadership style?
- Your strengths?
- Somewhat unexpected:
- If you were a CEO of a company, give me 3 reasons why I should work for you?
- If money isn't an issue, what would you do with your career?
- Who do you admire and why?
Conclusion:
- Anything you want to add that I didn't cover?
- Questions for me?
