MBA INTERVIEW: CLEAR GOALS ARE CONVINCING
Anyone applying for an MBA degree must expect high demands and tough competition. MBA recruiting expert Will Toussaint reveals which building blocks a good application needs and how you can convince the business schools.
Early start or last minute - when should I
start preparing for the application?
Many applicants are already looking for the
right MBA one year before the start of their
studies. And that's just as well. Anyone interested in a
good, accredited MBA program should definitely keep in
mind that intensive application preparation is
mandatory. Last but not least, hurdles such as the GMAT
and TOEFL tests or the preparation for essays and
interviews are waiting. And if you need a visa, you
should allow a few weeks to wait. Those interested in
MBA who do not plan ahead should also try to take
advantage of this opportunity. Because the business
schools can also accept short-term applicants within a
few days. Provided that all application documents are
complete. Even if an application should work on the last
minute - it is important that the participant is present
in time for the start of the program. Those who take
this into account often lay the foundations for a
successful degree.
What is part of a good application?
In addition to basic formalities such as certificates, a
good GMAT score and proof of English language skills
(TOEFL), we pay particular attention to the
recommendations of the applicants in the admissions
process. Because they say a lot about them.
And what makes such a good reference?
We require two references from our
participants. Normally at least one of them should be
created by the line manager. The reference providers
should above all describe the potential of the
applicant. How does he deal with management tasks? Does
he have a positive attitude to work? And of course: is
he stress-resistant, able to work in a team and
motivated?
What to do if the supervisor does not take
part?
Sometimes it happens that the line manager -
for whatever reason - is not ready to write a
recommendation. Then I would recommend contacting a
similarly qualified person who can objectively assess
the applicant's characteristics.
How important are the essays?
The essays also reveal a lot about the
motivation of the MBA aspirant, his suitability and
maturity as well as his performance. And of course the
professional experience of each individual is very
important to us. After all, the quality of the course
for all participants depends not least on the individual
background that everyone brings to the class.
What distinguishes a good essay from a bad
one?
Similar to the interview, the presentation of
your own motivation should go as far as possible beyond
money and career wishes. It is good if the applicant
shows that they are interested in broadening their
horizons, learning the tools of good leadership and
engaging in the intercultural MBA adventure. Clear
objectives that are associated with the MBA are
convincing - for example, wanting to learn more about
finance, marketing and ways to increase the innovative
strength of a team. If the desire for an MBA arises from
the knowledge and experience of the previous job and is
combined with the desire to further expand your own
potential, it always works very convincingly. The last
component of a good application is the interview by the
business school.
And how can you prepare for it?
Before the interview, every applicant should
think carefully about their motives for an MBA degree so
that they can convey them authentically in the
conversation. A good basis for the conversation is
certainly the essay. Because here the applicants had the
opportunity to think about these topics in advance and
can build on them in conversation. In any case, you
should have a clear idea of your own goals and be able
to show commitment and willingness to perform. Because
the desire for better salary and career opportunities is
not enough as an argument and will not inspire an
interviewer anytime soon.
