Calling all Erasmus (Rotterdam) MBA Applicants: 2020 Intake!

Hi All, I have received a few more questions and wanted to post some additional thoughts to the group.

Interview tips / thoughts: ..

Hi Guys,

Targeting June 4th deadline for R2. Had a little doubt on the essay question around positive impact. What exactly is needed here - Development sector experience - work with NGOs, personal initiatives to create impact or Entrepreneurship experience (to showcase the business side of things since this is an MBA program at the end of it) or a mix of both? Would be really helpful to get your thoughts on this, specially the folks who have rec'd interview calls or admits.

Look forward. Thanks

I have received a few requests for info on the process and questions for the Kira Talent section. Here is some additional info:

First, the question about the process. I am not exactly sure what is wanted here, but below are some bullets...
- After submitting my application, RSM evaluated for a couple weeks and then notified me via email regarding the Kira Talent and personal interview.
- I received a separate email from Kira Talent to 'check in' and register. In this process was an evaluation of my computer and internet connection.
- There are practice questions available after the 'check in', that you can repeat as often as you like. I found that if you practice across multiple days the questions might change, or they might remain the same.
- Once I was ready, I started the process and was done in about 20 minutes. Each video question gave me 30-45 seconds to prepare and 90 seconds to respond, the written question gave me 8 minutes to respond with no prep time.

Now the questions. I only recall enough details for one of the video to write about it right now and the written (it has been a whirlwind of practice and responding to a couple different schools).
- Second video question asked me about interacting with people from different cultures/languages/age and how I respond and learn form these interactions.
- Written question was a scenario in which I am the CEO of a company that needs to relocate 20% of my employees within 6 months , write the email to notify them.

If I remember the first question, I will post later.
All in all, the prep questions were general interview type and so were the real questions.

Hey,

I actually went with personal initiatives to create an impact.

I would recommend focusing on the why and the how i.e. why did you feel the need to create a positive impact & how(if you did) did you go about with it. And lastly, how the school could help you further with this goal.

Hi JMMadison, for this and the other post about interviewing, huge contributions to this thread! Crossing my fingers for your admit to RSM.
I really appreciate you including the sequence of events - helpful to know you can do practice questions on different days and get different questions.
Cheers,
Farrell
