Fuqua Alum Interview January 31, 2005
Posted by Simba in : Uncategorized , 4 commentsI am back from the Fuqua interview. I really had a great time speaking to the Alum of the Class of ‘88. I met him at his office and I was damn early. Spent a lot of time staring at the mirror in the washroom!! 
Had to wait a few minutes before we started off. He told me about the ‘interviewing’ bit and explained that this would be more like an informal chat - ‘getting to know me’.
Before he asked me questions, he talked a lil about himself & I started asking him a couple of things about his occupation. Tsk Tsk, then I realised that I am the interviewee and forced myself to shutup. Then we just went through my Resume and Why MBA. He seemed to agree with me about ‘Why MBA’ bit. He said ‘perfect, makes sense’. Also I went in length about my current profile at work and he came to the conclusion that I have a lot of responsibilities. He was really inquisitive about the field I am in and the company I work for. Who wouldn’t be?! 
A couple of questions on ‘teams’ and he asked me ‘If you have to explain your work to a 5-yr old child, how would you do it’.. Ya, that was an easy one! Then, it was over (or atleast I thought so!) He allowed me to question him and we spoke about a few things at Fuqua and how things have changed over the years. Then, I was almost about to leave when he finally asked, ‘Why Duke?’ I was happy to talk about the program that excites me and then came the Adios bit.
On the whole, I have absolutely no idea how it went. I think I blabbered a bit and he alternated between smiling and nodding.. Hmmmm, is there some coded language in that!?:-) Anyways, lets see what the final verdict will say.. a fortnight wait!! Okai, now I am off to sleep. Good Nighty!
