Most schools already announced that this first round of interviews will be conducted online. If you are among the lucky ones who received their interview invite, congrats!
You likely have spent the past few months on Zoom meetings; you must have the tech side down to a science by now. But how do you ensure you convey your enthusiasm and engaging personality virtually? In this article, we will share a few tips to help you shine!
A few days before the interview:
1. Prepare your Elevator Pitch
Work on your 60-second elevator pitch. The interview's goal is not for you to show how you've memorized the bullet points of your resume; it's an opportunity to tell your story, where you've been, where you are going, and how an MBA from your dream school will help you get there.
1. Do Your Research
Show that you've done your research by mentioning a specific course, student club, incubator, or lecture series that you are looking forward to. Don't hesitate to mention how you are planning to contribute. Don't forget to prepare a list of thoughtful questions for your interviewer as well.
1. Pick your stories/anecdotes.
Depending on the school culture and your interviewer, a large part of the interview will be dedicated to behavioral questions: Give me two cases where you demonstrated leadership? What role do you usually play in group situations? Could you give an example? What do you like doing outside of work? Are a few examples of behavioral questions. Make sure you prepare a couple of stories/anecdotes that will highlight your leadership, problem-solving, and team-work skills.
The day of the interview:
1. Set the scene
Make sure you test your material, microphone, and camera ahead of time. Pick a neutral background and pay attention to lighting; after all, most of the focus will be on your face; make sure that your face is well lit and the camera is at eye level (put a couple of books under your laptop if needed), so you are not hunched over your computer. Because body language is critical, it may be a good idea to not stand too close to the camera, so your hand gestures are visible.
1. Dress the part
Obviously, professional dress is expected. Also- and I cannot stress this enough- please DO wear appropriate bottoms. If your laptop tips over or you need to get up for a reason or another, you don't want to scar your interviewer. Furthermore, professional attire will boost your self-confidence and help you get into interview mode.
During the interview:
1. Connect with your interviewer
Make eye contact with your interviewer by looking straight into the camera; this will avoid the temptation to stare at your reflection during the interview, and don't forget to smile.
1. Don't stress
Technical issues, frozen screens, failing audio are to be expected. You won't be judged on the quality of your WiFi signal. You will, however, be judged on how you handle yourself when stressful situations arise. If you encounter technical difficulties, take a deep breath, and address the issue calmly.
1. Prepare a closing statement.
Make sure you keep it short and sweet, you may simply thank your interviewer for their time, or you can choose to share your enthusiasm for the school and the program or reiterate why you think you will be a great addition to the school's community.
