I had scheduled the Skype interview and when the day came, I prepared myself to face 40 minutes worth of questions. The interviewer was patient enough to cope with my not-so-reliable internet connection, making the video quality pretty bad at times.
Nevertheless, we were able to carry out the interview without any interruptions.
The interviewer told me that he had read my application beforehand and my resume as well, but he asked me to walk him through my resume all the same. He then asked why did I chose Marshall as the place to continue my studies and told me to describe my strengths and the reasons why I should be admitted. Then followed the request to tell him my past leadership experiences and to provide 3 adjectives that described my personality best. He also asked me how I was going to pay for my studies and a couple of questions about a past job I had included in my resume. He then was open to my questioning, so I asked a few and the interview was over.
I have to confess that I was surprised on how patient he was and that he never interrupted me when I was answering, no matter how long the answer was. He was able to answer all my questions perfectly and I ended up very satisfied. I hope I do get admitted, so I can be around more people like this interviewer!
