Описание: How to tackle internship and work experience-related questions effectively?

B-school interviews often dive deep into your professional journey to assess your skills, involvement, problem-solving abilities, and industry awareness.

Here's how you can prepare:

⭐ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐥-𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐕
1. Create a latest CV that highlights every responsibility and role you’ve assumed at work. For each point, prepare a STARIL (Situation, Task, Action, Result, Impact, Learning) backup.

Example: If you led a product launch, explain the situation (market need), your role (task), what you did (action), measurable results in the form of analytics & KPIs, overall impact on your team/company, and personal learnings.
This CV will also be helpful later during your summer internships if you make it into a B-school.

⭐ 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲
Be ready to discuss your role in detail, covering:
1. Your specific responsibilities: Understand your day-to-day tasks and key achievements.
2. Team impact: How your work contributed to your team’s objectives.
3. Company impact: Connect your efforts to your company’s goals or bottom line.

⭐ 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
B-schools expect you to have a holistic view of the industry you’ve worked in. Prepare on:
1. Industry trends: Be aware of emerging technologies, key challenges, and growth areas.
Example: If you’re from fintech, know about UPI advancements, digital banking trends, and regulatory updates.
2. Competitor strategies: What are other companies in your space doing differently or better?
3. Macroeconomic factors: Understand how interest rates, inflation, or geopolitical changes impact your industry.
4. Key people: Know influential leaders in your domain. This shows your curiosity and awareness.
