Had my interview today
Debrief:
There are 2 interviewers, assitant prof and PhD candidate, both in strategic management. Started off with pleasentaries and they asked me to tell something about myself. The Professor was interested in my experience in directing a couple short films. He asked me more details such as the problems that I faced, how can I relate this to my career in consulting. After that, we talked about my career goals, and why france. Then, he asked me specific questions about the FMCG sector, why FMCG and why renewable energy and anything interesting in renewable energy. At the end, the professor told me he wasn’t convinced with my "Why France" answer, and asked me again. I asked a couple questions at the end of the program. The interview lasted about 27-28 minutes, I guess it only lasts max 30 mins since the slots are for half hour each.
Prepare for "Why France" as it’s the most important for them. They won’t see the essays, only the CV, so it’s important to know the CV thoroughly.
