Hello,
I am a R1 admitted applicant and my heart goes out to all R2 waiting for interview decisions. I thought it may be timely for me to share the interview questions I remember receiving. For context I am an Human Resource Project Consultant. It was really conversational and luckily the admission director had experience with shared services so she knew about my work and was able to dig deeper. Below are the questions I recall:
- tell me about yourself
- why would you want to leave HR? What are your short and long term goals?
- do you want to stay in operational HR? What companies are you interested in?
- further discussion about My Hr shared service experience like why did we choose these countries to centralize in them? What did your team look like to build the shared services? What’s my thoughts on hr shared services? Do all my countries service catalogues look the same? Etc.
- tell me more about the Medical assistant short term task force (part of my resume)
-tell me the other schools you applied for and what can you learn from IESE that you can’t get anywhere else
- tell me about a time that you seriously screwed up
- how do you hope to have changed 4 years from now
Good luck!
