[面试经验] Interview with Wharton - Henry Winter （2006-2-24 ）

Interviewed with Wharton Alumnus Henry Winter

Somebackground of the interviewer:

male, got MBA and Lander in 1996

then joined Booz Allen & Hamilton in HK

extensive experience in China, can speak mandarin, cantonese and now is learning shanghaiese

CEO of smartclub.com

I must say the interview is really unusual and maybe a weird: 80 minutes interview, no Why MBA, no Why Wharton, no team work, no leadership, no weakness & strength, no contribution, no any traditional questions.

1. go through resume: asked some questions on honors and what drove me to choose current job;

2. what's you will do if you get plenty, says USD10000000M, of money;

3. the famous question Su Buqing was asked when he studied in Japan;

4. what's the constructive criticism you have received;

5. what do u do for fun out of work;

6. what might the biggest concern the adcom might on you;

7. Is there anything you want to tell the adcom to help it get a better understand on you.

I must say that the questions are not limited to the above. The questions are all spantaneous ones that I never expected.  But I like it, for it can tell what kind of person you really are.

For those who chose to be interviewed by Henry Winter in Shanghai, I must say that it is a difficult job and you are advised to get prepared for any questions which might jump to his brain.

Good luck to everybody in your application!

von Neumann曾经碰到别人问他一个估计中国小学生都很熟的问题，就是两个人相向而行，中间有一只狗跑来跑去，问两个人相遇之后，狗走了多少的这种。应该先求出相遇的时间，再乘狗的速度。如果没有什么记错的话，小时候听说过苏步青先生在日本的一个什么公共汽车上，就有人问他这个问题，他老人家当然不会感到有什么困难了。von Neumann也是瞬间给出了答案，提问的人很失望，说你以前一定听说过这个诀窍吧，他指的是上面的这个做法。von Neumann说：“什么诀窍？我所做的就是把狗每次跑得都算出来，然后算出那个无穷的级数。”……
