Hello... Anyone interviewed with Diana Fleming ?
­I interviewed with Diana a few weeks ago. The interview was very conversational and fairly straightforward. She started off by talking about her background, her role at Emory, and then we jumped right into the "Tell me about yourself" questions. I spoke about my background and why I want an MBA now, why Goizueta, short/long-term goals, and then she asked me some curveball questions about my experience. 

I think I had a really great response to them even though I hadn't prepared for them, but the curveball questions were:
1) Can you name a company you really admire how they operate
2) If you were brought on as a strategy consultant for the military (prior military and consulting background), what would be the first thing you'd change?

After that I had about 5 minutes to ask her some questions.

Hope that helps and best of luck!­

Donotdrop, nishan29, congrats guys , could you help us with your profiles ?
­Profile:

Job - Senior Marketing Operations Manager
Age - 30
Demographic - Male (He/Him) / Straight / heterosexual  / Canadian Born / Indian family background
Years Experience - 6+ in Local and Global Marketing Tech / B2B / B2C / SaaS
Companies Profiles I’ve Worked (total time/profile) - 2 startups (SaaS) - 11 Months / 2 marketing agencies (B2B Global Enterprise) - 2 years 4 months / 1 goods & services (B2B and B2C) - 1 year 2 months / 2 Global Enterprise companies - 1 year 8 months
Company Jumping Explained - One agency let me go after 5 months because all the contracts I was hired for were put on hold or cancelled due to Covid...so they really had no financial reason to keep me around. No job job for 4 months due to hiring freezes globally because of covid panic, used time to up-skill/level up. Next comany was a strartup for 5 months (first job I could find after being let go from the agency). I left the startup because there was a great opportunity to accelerate my career and build/develop key skills that would pay dividends in my future career.
Family Business Experience - 20 years on and off through school (few hours here and there, but growing up around family businesses you passively learn a lot)
GMAT - 570 (very bad I know) I took the GMAT a few times and somehow that was my best score. Just bad timing with life and exams.
Bad Score Explained - I have numerous things that took priority over my GMAT scores/exam time periods which I covered in my essays. Things ranging from Family to Health issues, that’s why I probably would take that score with a bit of give. When I took practice exams I was ~630-660. So that’s probably why Ad Com wanted to see a bit more about who I was.
GPA - 3.0
Education - Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry, but graduated with Bachelors degree in Economics. (switched a few times in university)
Parents Education - High School 
References - 2 - Both didn’t give me 10/10 on their reviews. Probably 6-7/10. I told them to be honest and don’t overinflate/lie about who or what I am as an employee. Checked off box saying I can't see their responses, but they did talk to me after submission explaining their choices.
Extracurriculars & Hobbies - Skiing, Volleyball, Football (Soccer), Powerlifting, Hiking, Kayaking, Sewing, Cooking, decorating/furnishing (planning a house and kinda got into homely things), Light Mentoring (2 people), Photography, Drinking and learning about Wine/Scotches/Beers/Cocktails, Watches/Horology, Time with friends, Light Travel (Maybe 1 global trip every 2/3 years, 2-3 domestic road trips to visit friends), Darts, Video Games* (Highlighting this because I explained to Ad-Com that video games allow me to keep in touch with my friends from university who are now global)
Extracurriculars & Hobbies I tell Ad-Com - Skiing, Volleyball, Powerlifting, Cooking, Light Mentoring, Video Games

I went a bit in depth for a lot of things just so I can copy and paste this next time someone asks. But I think that is everything for my profile, background, and kinda things adcom will be interested in me about. 


I also had my interview this morning. 

Tips I review before calls
- Always keep a drink handy, gives you a artificial break you can use to think of an answer while they are finishing their question.
- Smile, look directly at the camera, not at the screen they are on. It's a hard habit to break, but it pays dividens in your career.
- Be as natural and engaging as you can be
- Tone Modulation when you desribe your story, tones of ups and downs in very important
- Show emotions
- Do homework on the school, employment report, and city. They could come out with a random question
- Look up school colours and try to either match or wear them. They do take notes.
- Do not wear rival schools colours. They do take notes.
- Clean up everything, yourself, your room, your background, etc.
- Make sure people do not disturb you.
- Turn phone/mobile to silent but keep it infront of you incase Ad-Com calls on it (should video fail).
- Remove home/landline phone from your room (Unless Ad-Com has that number should video fail).
- If you have your interviewer's name, look them up and get an understanding of who they are.
- Remeber that it's not just you they are interviewing. You are interviewing them, ask questions you couldn't find answers to online, or through webinars.
- Always have 2-3 questions ready, but ask at least 2 with scope of the school, and maybe 1 question non school releated i.e about the city, state, food, etc.
- Prepare your notes for the call, if you need put sticky notes with prompts around the camera so your eyes don't drift down or too far off.
- You can move! Don't just be a stiff on camera, you can shift, move, drink coffee/tea/water, move your arms, etc!
- You made it this far to have an intervew! The Schools are interested in who you are as a person, not too much about your career or scores or education. There are thousands of people with same scores or better than you! What makes YOU as a person special, and how will YOU ADD VALUE to your classmates expereince, learning, and to the school DURING and POST MBA?!

Attire:
White Dress Shirt, Dark Bule Suit, No tie, Beard/Face Trimmed/Cleaned up, Hair Cleaned up

Routine Today
- 1 coffee before call, 1 coffee during call (730 am call, if it was later I would have had water.)
- tested cameral and audio, backup plan if internet went out (Hotspot from mobile, backup plan if laptop crashed & phone that could do Zoom, and the number Ad-Com has incase they will only do a audio call)
- Reviewed all my notes and questions I have prepared for all interviews

Start of Interview:
- They stated at the start all they have is my resume and nothing else.
- Told me it will be straight forward with no tricks.
- They'll be pausing to take notes.
- Decision will be released on decision date.

Questions asked in order (From what I remeber)
1. Walk me through your resume, current roles and responsibilities (Most recent 1-2 jobs). I jumped around a bit and touched upon 4-5 since they had some overlapping skills I wanted to talk/bring up.
2. Why an MBA - Talked about why a one-year MBA was my choice and what I'll get out of the MBA
3. Short and Long term career goals - I discussed both as well as highlighting my target industries
4. What is a strength you bring to your team/classmates
5. What is a weakness of yours that you will bring to your team/classmates
6. Tell me about your undergrade or education?
7. What clubs are you interested in or would like to join?
8. What are your hobbies outside of work?
9. Do you have any questions for me/Ad-Com?

So just normal set of questions.
Sorrry if too Long, I've also attached a copy of my question doc (i create copies and fill it out depeinding on the school). Use words replace function to replace "(School Name)" - Select Replace or press Ctrl + H.
