My interview was at the alumni’s office. The interview lasted about an hour and was very much a relaxed conversation more than a formal interview. The questions asked were along these lines:
Tell me about your work experience so far
Why am I doing an MBA
Why did I apply to LBS
What do I know about LBS
What are my strengths
He asked me about group experience and how I work in a team
How do I deal with stress
Explain a failure I’ve had and what it taught me
Presentation Topic was something along these lines:
Assume you have taken over Nokia as CEO. Following the major sale to Microsoft, what steps would you take to ensure the companies profitability and future survival. I was given 5 minutes to prepare and about 5 minutes to present using a whiteboard. The interviewer said he had chosen the topic because it was out of my experience/comfort zone and to see how I would react.
Following the presentation, we discussed the school, societies and details of the course.
He then asked if I had any questions
