IT background and gearing for an ISB interview?
Watch out...
We just wanted to raise this for all you IT folks going for an interview with ISB..some things that you should definitely watch out for...
1. MOST IMPORTANT - Remember since you belong to the most common pool in India, many of the ISB alums and current students also belong to that pool. So when you say that you 'lead a module with 5 developers' or 'you were onsite gathering requirements' - no matter how glam you may want it to sound ..they know EXACTLY what it means. So be honest ! Be very honest about what you did and what you do..
2. Know the facts well - Again chances are that the person you are talking to across the table in the interview is from the same organisation or worked for the same organisation at some point of time. I remember in one of the interviews I took, the guy had worked for my organisation as a vendor and kept talking about processes in my organisation and obviously he didnt quite do it very well ...
3. Alot is happening in the IT world today - and everybody knows it. It is so so so easy to interview an IT guy cause so much happens in that world..aquisitions, talent management, products Vs services, outsourcing, offshoring...nobody misses these things ..so its very easy for the interviewers to grill you as compared to grilling someone from say a coal mine background ---get what I mean? So be aware.. be well read..and know your industry very very well. Be tuned ..
4. You would need to differentiate yourself - YES ! But because you are from the IT background - dont go so desperate to differentiate yourself that you end up confusing yourself on what your goal is post MBA ..on what you have been doing..on what you are. Remember you'd rather come out as someone with a structured thought and clarity even if you are from IT than someone who wants to portray has having done a zillion things but confused and unstructured or worse still someone who is desperately trying to prove that he is different. I think the best way to tackle this is - PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE! Prepare very well for that interview..
5. Know a little about the roles that the industry (IT ) offers post MBA - helps you think more about "Why MBA ..what after" type of questions. We will soon be posting on this topic very soon..
Remember all that you have worked for till now has come down to just those 20 mins - the make or break 20 mins .....so go crack it!
