So I had my interview in Delhi today and it went kinda terrible.
I was given a lot of curveballs.This is how it went :-
1) Interview Walkthrough (went fine)
2) So you have 2 companies, how do u delegate your time between the two? How is it possible for you to handle two companies? (this is where i start going nervous and sweaty)
3)Why mba? What do u want to do immediately after mba? (went okayish)
4) Now she started asking me all sorts of questions that are limited to my industry, none of the questions were standard. I kinda started stammering, trembling, and sweating. Has this happened to any of you?
5) After the interview she talked for a bit and then she said 'I have an exercise for you. On my computer you will read a job advertisement and write a cover letter for job application.' I had never done this sort of thing before, but i tried my best, it turned out ok i guess. Wonder how no one ever mentioned this exercise in the forums.
Now my interview report is over, I ask you experts, what can I write in the thank you note apart from the standard stuff that may reach out to her, as in that may make her realize, I got kinda nervous under pressure, and I am not usually like that? Or should i just send a standard letter?
I think you ought to just write expressing thanks for the opportunity to interview, and reaffirm you interest in the program, bringing up 1-3 notes that were touched upon in your interview. Example, "as I stated when we met, I am really interesting in X and Georgetown because of how it caters to my Y." Or something along those lines.
That cover letter exercise you got sounds really challenging and unique. But maybe it is a good sign that she liked you and wanted to push you even further. Who was your interviewer?
