– Why did you choose your job and why that industry?
– What have been your roles and responsibilities at [company A]?
– Why did you switch to [company B]?
– What have been your roles and responsibilities at [company B]?
– How would your colleagues describe you?
– Speak about your experience working in a diverse team.

– What’s been your greatest achievement?
– Why MBA?
– What does resilience mean to you?
– What is your leadership style and how has it grown since undergrad?
