\"Participate_Dont_Dominate\"<\/a>The team-based interview\/discussion. Not as straightforward as the traditional one-on-one interview, many applicants feel tripped up and nervous just thinking about it. Well now you can WORRY NO MORE. We\u2019d like to help you prep for your upcoming team-based interview\/discussion by offering you the following tips (with a special emphasis on #4):<\/p>\n

1. Participate, don\u2019t dominate.<\/strong> Balance is key here. If you chime in infrequently, then you won\u2019t give the group (not to mention the interview leader) an opportunity to hear your voice and get to know you; run your mouth non-stop, however, and they may get to know you more than they\u2019d like. Take the middle ground here and participate as though you would in a regular polite conversation.<\/p>\n

2. Politeness matters!<\/strong> Thought-provoking, interesting comments are always welcome, but don\u2019t cross the line into overly controversial, and certainly not offensive.<\/p>\n

3. Dress the part.<\/strong> The idea of a discussion is meant to induce a feeling of casual conversation, but not too<\/em> casual! Your board shorts and Hawaiian shirt? Save that for your next luau. Instead, stick with business attire only.<\/p>\n

4. Attend our upcoming Mock Wharton Team-Based Discussion. <\/strong>The best way to prep for your team exercise is by experiencing one first-hand before interview day. Join us on Tuesday, November 11th<\/sup> at 4:00 PM PT\/7:00 PM ET or on Tuesday, November 18th<\/sup> 10:00 AM PT\/1:00 PM ET for a simulated group interview<\/strong> that will provide you with the ins and outs, not to mention a huge boost of confidence, when it comes to your Wharton Team-Based Discussion or any other group interview or activities you may have coming up. You must purchase this service in advance<\/a> to reserve your spot.<\/p>\n

We wish you lots of luck! Please be in touch with any questions!<\/p>\n
