Hello All,
I am a first year student of two year Full-time MBA program at Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business, University of Pittsburgh graduating in 2018.
You can ask questions about school/Admissions etc here in the thread.
Happy to answer
Hi there!
I have also been invited for the evaluative interview with Katz.
Any specific tips about how to answer questions regarding experience from a management perspective? I have been a developer in the IT industry so far and apart from leading teams and organizing many events during my academic life, I haven't had a chance to lead in a professional environment.
ashsetlur - responding to your question
You need to have examples/stories of all the situations. Talk about the skills that you developed over time, backed up with the stories in STAR format.
There may be follow up questions on HOW/WHAT theme on the examples.
e.g. leading teams as a developer is a very generic statement. What did you accomplish, and what was the impact on the business would be more important in this case.
Email me if you have any specific questions -
