Hi,

I just recently did the Kira Talent interview. Anyone else here back or have any good news yet?

Mick1005 · Answer

I am not sure If I should apply at UC Irvine. The Operations/Logistics employment is really vague.Only 4% of the batch was employed in that industry. Since I am looking for an operations role post MBA, I am not sure if UC Irvine is the best for me.

sethita · Answer

I did an interview on 20 March 2019, but still have not heard back from Ad Com.
Is it possible it would take 3-4 weeks to receive the decision?
And is there anyone experience the same thing?

Thank you!
