First steps on how to approach a Personal Interview?

Have well thought out answers for questions for PI such as "What are your strengths? Why are you right for that particular business school? Why is that particular program right for you?"

It shows organization and forethought if you know some specifics about the program to which you are applying and can explain why those features fit well with your career goals.

Don't waste time in PI, discussing things that are already indicated on your application. You can elaborate if the topic illustrates something about your character and preparedness for the b-school experience, but do not be redundant.

Remember that the first impression you create during PI  is very important. When asked to say "something about yourself", most candidates just blurt out their schooling, college, marks and qualifications. All this is already there in the application. Why tell the interviewer something he/she already knows. 

Ideally, you would want to use this opportunity to show how you are different from the thousands of other applicants, not to blend in to the crowd.

Prepare with Personal Interview Tips and be successful.

What is personality?

Personality is an individual’s habitual patterns of behavior and response, internal or external, in adapting himself to the environment of which he is a part. “It is a functional identity, a pattern of physical and mental process, a continuum of activity.”

The term personality is used among some psychologists almost in its literal sense - i.e., to indicate a mask, persona, as was worn by actors on the stage in ancient Rome. In this sense, the personality, like the mask, feigns individuality, and tries to make others and one believe that one is individual.

Fundamentally the persona is nothing real: it is compromise between individual and society as to what a man should appear to be. He takes a name, earns a title, represents an office, and is this or that.

Personality can be used as a universal term that encompasses all the psychological, intellectual, emotional, and physical characteristics of an individual, especially as they are presented to other people.

We say that someone has a "big personality" or "no personality", or a "sports personality". Personality is reflected in our behavior. When we act out of character we often say “It just wasn't like me…", "I wasn't myself".

MBA aspirants have to build a professional personality based on above concepts.

The Online MBA Advantages

Students report that the online Master in Business Administration experience is not isolating. In fact, they say that collaborative online project work with their fellow students forges life-long professional and personal relationships.

However students enrolled in accredited online MBA degree programs must be disciplined and organized, creating a regular routine to attend classes, teleconferences, lectures, and workshops.

The self-paced, accelerated online MBA may not be your best option if you have trouble with routine online communications, chat, or browser software. You'll need access to broadband connectivity for most of the sessions to operate smoothly. On the other hand, if you're used to the business world and its software, you'll fit in nicely.

Online colleges typically do not offer as many scholarships as brick-and-mortar schools because students are often already employed or are sometimes funded by their employers.

While many online MBA programs offer career placement and assistance, some do not. You'll need to evaluate your needs and individual school offerings carefully before making a choice.
