October 16, 2009, Newsletter Issue #187: Preparing For An MBA Admission Interview

Tip of the Week

Until you know yourself, don't even consider walking into an admission interview to obtain an MBA degree online. Of course, we all think we know ourselves pretty well. We know our strengths and weaknesses in a general sense, but can we articulate what we know into meaningful dialogue that reflects our goals, challenges and triumphs? 

There are nationally and internationally recognized programs and workshops available that illuminate personality and temperament styles. These workshops help undercover unique natural strengths, talents, and individual learning styles. There is a charge, but the fee is well worth discovering who you really are, not just who you think you are. A quick Internet search using keywords like “personality styles” or “personality strengths” may set you on the path to discovering some of these workshops.

When it’s time for the mba admission interview, you’ll be ready and confident to answer questions like:

Why did you apply to this school?What makes you stand out among other applicants?How do you plan to use your degree?What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses?What will you contribute to the program?How would your colleagues describe you?Having an accurate personal inventory of your personality and learning styles will be reflected in the confidence you exude. Discovering a person who knows who they are, and where they want to go, is the ultimate goal of the mba admissions officer. Now you're ready for that interview, and that mba online.
