I'm sorry to hear that :/
So you interviewed last year? Any advice for those of us who will be interviewing in the coming weeks? What should we expect? Any guidance you can offer would be much appreciated.
The interview is pretty straightforward and stress free. They'll ask you about things you've done and try to understand why -
1. When did you fail, what led to that failure?
2. Tell us about a time you didn't get along with your team
3. Tell us about a time when you did something that was extraordinary. Do you wish you'd done better there?
Secondly, why LGO?
1. Tell us why you want to come to this program.
2. Which partner companies would you like to work with.
Overall, I think LGO expects you to make a case that LGO is
THE program for you. I think I got a little nervous and fluffed that part. Ok, very nervous and fluffed that part. Most importantly, remain calm - at this stage they want to keep you. You just have to give them a reason to. All the best, hope that helps[/quote]
This is VERY useful information. I'm sorry to hear you didn't get an interview this year. :/ Are you trying again next year, or are you going to a different program?[/quote]
I do not believe that I will wait another year. At this point, spending another year does not make sense. Especially given that I don't know what went wrong. I believe my profile this year was much improved compared to last year, so not getting an interview means one of two things - either the applicant pool has gotten way too competitive for someone like me (there are some major gaps in my profile) or that last year they saw something that convinced them that I would be a poor addition.
In either case, I don't think it makes sense to wait in the absence of any feedback.
