私がMBA面接のために作成し、面接準備の2ヶ月間、毎日修正を重ねた質問リストを公開します。質問はWebサイト、書籍、カウンセラー、友人知人から聞いたあらゆる質問を、体系的にまとめています。本番では、9割以上質問リストの内容でカバーできました。
質問の分類
質問を集めるのは、ひたすら時間をかければできるのですが、大事なのは体系的に分類し、きちんと回答できることです。私はあらゆるソースを参考にしながら、数ヶ月かけて6つのテーマに分類しました。
- Background (Career)
- Yourself
- Behavioral
- Goal Statement
- Others
- Any questions?
1. Background(Career)
Walk me through your resumeに代表される、キャリアについての質問です。時系列でいうと、誕生から高校まで、大学(Academic)、社会人(Professional)の3つに細分化できます。
2. Yourself
強み/弱み、性格、趣味などがこれに当たります。
3. Behavioral
○○○した体験は?という実際のエピソードについて聞かれるパートです。
○○○には、<リーダーシップ or ダイバーシティ or チームワーク> × <成功 or 失敗> × <×仕事 or 仕事以外>、というように、各要素を掛け算したものが入ります(3×2×2種類)。
4. Goal statement
Why MBA?に代表される、あなたのキャリアゴールについての質問です。Why MBA? Why Spain? Why this school? Why now?という質問が聞かれますが、自分のキャリアゴールと現状のGAPを埋めるためになぜMBA(なぜ○○スクール)というところまで明確に落とし込む必要があります。
5. Others
上記①〜④に当てはまらない質問は全て放り込んでおきました。IEのUnusual質問などがここに入ります。
6. Any question?
今度は受験生が質問する側です。1校あたり5問程度用意しておけばよいでしょう。
