My Interview Experience - ISB

Done with my interview just now. IST 2:25pm

HEMA was there on the other side and nobody else. She took my interview first time also. for those who don't know she is from ad com...

She gave me word Fanatic... I blabbered something on that and then she asked what I am fanatic about answered something. She didn't ask further.

One question from my resume how you doubled the sales? now I think I underplayed my role there but answered in detail to her with details of my contribution. should have spoken more about Me but I think that's ok.

What you like about your Job? I gave her the answers with some pointers, but again she didn't ask. Should have asked one question at least.

Another one from my essay how you will contribute to the class with your process knowledge? said something...she sought some clarification which I think I answered. she jumped to next one so cannot gauge if she was ok or not.

Multicultural teams and obstacles etc gave her answer. easy-rehearsed one :P Something which I wrote in the leadership essay of Tuck. Again underplayed the team role but highlighted the leadership aspect.... The more I think the more it goes Haywire.

Then came the bomb. What is Democracy connect and what you did on a project? explain in detail your role. This answer was pure on the spot Don't remember what I answered but sad something... and then cooked up an time pass story for my project.... :D

Any questions for us. Asked one question, she answered it but I didn't grill her either should have asked her more here

And that's it. 22.5 min and finished.....

My assessment:
Either my answers were perfect or she was not interested at all.
If it was a formality so either I am out or already in.

So basically Can't say

As Kumavat says you have to play to her ego and can't gauge from her response now so lets wait till 10th

Allah jaane kya hoga....

Tyson!

One More down

Submitted the third one today. Somehow managed to put up the show, finally stitched all the pieces together. Called up dad and asked my cousin sis to scan and mail some documents, recklessly careless me. Need luck here as my boss screwed up his recommendation, still I have made request if they accept may be I will have better chance. Anyways PawanG was more enthu on working this one than me. It was he who called up and checked if I need some help. May be people like giving gyaan. Doesn't matter I would say I am 50% hopeful on this one.

Saari called up at 10pm local time thinking that some bank might be open in dubai where he could make a DD. I sugested him one or two things dont know if that worked.

Mom is going to Blore tomorrow alone for the first time in airplane and to some non Hindi state.She is worried :( Hopefully everything should be good.

I will wrote about BKG ka marriage later, but Radha is cute. I could not enjoy the food properly because of somany roadside distractions. We had pyaaz ki kachori at Jodhpur sweet followed by a Jumbo size [shop standard was medium] glass of freshlime juice and one hour after this dinner is served. :( all of us were sitting and staring each other while our hero BKG was busy eating. Next day we got up late and had Poha with Jalebi and after 45 min uncle asked us to have Daal-Bafale (a different version of Bati) with Kari and sweets etc. Again we could not eat. :(.

sleepy now will continue tomrrow.

For me the pipeline or funnel might not be required anymore.
