Calling ISB 2012 Applicants - Let's Roll

Thanks for the info .....
lookslike 2-3 international applicant got a call for 2nd and 3rd Feb (Source PagalGuy)......
Lets keep our fingers crossed...

ATB to every1.

Words of wisdom from Fulla@pagalguy on telephonic interview. Sharing it here as it would be of special interest to all the international applicants.

0. Add the isb's skype id in your buddy list anytime you want.
1. On the day of the interview, you would need to dial the telephone number from the email.
2. After the greetings, ask them if they are ready to accept your skype video call. To me they said - take this word - take a minute to prepare - and once you ready, dial video call and speak on that word for a minute
3. Make sure you are suited booted and remove any pictures you dont want them to see from the background.
4. Arrange a hand-free, bluetooth etc. so that you are not holding the phone while on the video.
5. Mute your laptop/computer mic to avoid the echo.
6. Enjoy the experience.. they are good bunch of people!

My skype interview scheduled for Feb 1st.

Congratulations zimzamzum. Which part of the world are you from?

Thnx . I am from Bangalore only, but had to travel at the last moment because of some emergency. I was called in for in-person interview first, but after speaking with the Ad com, they changed it to skype based interview.

Any international applicant invites today? By international I mean Indian applicants working abroad.

Hey guys I just got a Interview call from ISB. So hang in there. Its not over till its over.

Congrats and ATB ......

Thanks mn2010....Just got done with my interview. Had it in 3 in the morning because of a goof up on my part...

Hey Kamalkicks, did you get an email from ISB abt the ding? I got the interview invite as late as 2nd feb.

There is one more day to go so better wait...

I finished my phone interview this week. Here are the details:

Skype was not working. So, no video conference. I had dressed up for the video interview, but that didn't happen.

I dialed into the phone number provided.

I was given a word, and was asked to think about it for a minute, and then speak on it for 30 seconds.

My questions were quiet random. Since my profile belong to a very large group of IT professionals with 5 years experience, they asked me very direct questions?

1. What are my current responsibilities and what am I doing in outside India?
2. Why should ISB choose me?
3. They asked me in detail about my CSR initiatives outside work.
4. Anything else I want them to know.
5. My turn to ask them any questions about the school.

They primarily asked me only these questions.
Most of the interview was conversational. The panel on the other side was very slow in asking their questions, and I believe they wanted me to ask more questions, but we ran out of time. We spent a lot of time discussing about what is my USP and why ISB should choose me.

I messed up the answer toward the end. My interview went ok.
