| FROM IE Business School - International MBA Blog: IE Winter Games |
|
When the temperature drops and the snow begins to fall, all around the world people prepare to celebrate this time of the year, with the longest nights and the coldest days. Whether it is Dongzhi in China, Inti Raymi in Peru, or any of the various different Christmas traditions, people come together to jubilate and fight off the cold. On Sunday, three IMBA intakes came together in the Segovia campus to celebrate their own festive winter event: the first annual “IE Winter Games“. Everyone put to good use the skills they have been practicing all year, through activities such as bobbing for winter apples, holiday golf, and snowballs-and-chopsticks, to name a few. A team of elves moonlighted during these last weeks to put together the event, which also raised money for a local Madrid charity. Along with two other charities, this money will be the outgoing November intake’s gift back to the Madrid community that has given them so much over this amazing year. The grand prize of the Winter Games went to a graduating team of festive holiday revelers who called themselves “Mistletoe” and who ceremoniously handed over the event’s official mascot, “Bets IE the Christmas Cow” to the new November intake. All other teams have said that they’ll begin training again after a short holiday break to recover from the physically demanding event. And all are looking forward to next year’s IE Winter Games!

| FROM IE Business School - International MBA Blog: IE Business School ranked No. 3 in Europe by the Financial Times |
 IE Business School is the No. 3 business school in Europe according to the latest ranking of European Business Schools by the Financial Times. This annual report is based on the results obtained by leading European business schools in the partial rankings of MBA, Executive MBA, Masters in Management and Executive Education programs published throughout the year by the Financial Times. In order to draw up this ranking of rankings, the Financial Times evaluated criteria that included the level of internationalization of the schools, salary increases and career progression of graduates, fulfilment of expectations, and research levels. “We are very proud to be among the top three business schools in Europe,” said Martin Boehm, Dean of Programs of IE Business School. “This result clearly reflects our excellent performance across the entire portfolio of programs at IE Business School.” The ranking comes soon after that published by Bloomberg Businessweek, which placed IE Business School’s MBA program second worldwide and first in Europe in the non-US category. The Bloomberg Businessweek survey is conducted biennially and is based on the level of satisfaction of over 10,000 students with levels of academic excellence at their chosen school, career development opportunities, and the school’s MBA program. Some 1,320 recruiters from 614 companies were consulted on which business schools produce the best graduates. The ranking also measured levels of research among faculty based on the number of publications in research journals between 2009 and 2013.

| FROM IE Business School - International MBA Blog: Alumni Career Profile: Vikas Sheth Maheshkumar at Findasense India |
 Vikas Sheth Maheshkumar is currently Country Project Manager at Findasense India. He is an alumnus of the International MBA, class of 2014. • How did you know about this job opportunity? I came to know about this opportunity via IE career portal only. Afterwards I did more research about the firm and found the opportunity to be interesting enough to pursue. • How did the CMC and your IE experience helped you during the recruiting process? IE experience was extremely valuable for me to land this job opportunity. One of the primary requirements for this position was experience of working with multicultural teams and IE had provided me tons of experience in that regards. Attributes like basics of problem solving approaches, analytic reasoning, presentation skills and understanding the people in general were icing on the cake. CMC also laid structured path for us during the entire year starting from CV and cover letter building to interview practice. I am sure CMC would continue to go to next level in order to guide students to land such good opportunities. • How did the recruiting process was: stages, tests, interviews,…etc.? Recruiting process is fairly straight forward. First and the most difficult stage is CV screening. Findasense is a very keen observer of all-round personalities. They give tremendous importance to cultural fit. They are young, energetic and creative company, and they would want your CV to reflect that. After that you have 4 rounds of interviews. First round is straight forward where an HR person would conduct interview based on behavioral, situational and CV questions. Second interview is just an informal discussion with one of the senior managers of the firm wherein discussion is about the business model of the firm. Third round is very elaborate one wherein you are required to travel to the office for the full day. This round is with one of the 3 partners of the firm and it is not very structured. Again focus here is about the cultural fit and attitude of the person. Overall process lasts for 6-7 hours including interview questions during lunch time. So be ready to speak for that long without any breaks!!! Finally the fourth round is with the CEO of the company where he would put more stress on your approach towards problem solving, generic observation skills and confidence. This round is just confirmation of the third round. • Would you like to share any tips with IMBA students interested in applying to Findasense? Research about the firm, “your” cultural fit and what else would you bring on the table. Be original in your answers. Learn something about the firm from every round of interview and use that learning in the next round. The most important part is 3rd round of interview. And since it is not structured interview, it gives you an opportunity to guide the discussions the way you would like. So be prepared with lot of bullet points which you can exploit during the discussion. However a senior partner is evaluating you on multiple dimensions, so make sure that you convey the understanding of each dimension. Lastly, just be yourself and the interview would be over before you realize it I sincerely hope that my answers would help anyone interested in Findasense. I would welcome the opportunity if someone is interested in the firm and wants to have a discussion with me. Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @ieBusiness #ieIMBA |
