Onsite interview with Smith, Maryland

Thanks for this website, I couldn't prepare myself better without it. So here I am, sharing me experience and I hope it could help others at needs.

There is no small talks in the beginning either, the first question: what do you like and dislike about your job? ( I was prepared for some small talk first, I guess I was too relaxed about things.

)

Standard questions:

Why Smith?
What do you see yourself in 10 years?
If you has to pick one strength that makes Smith accept you, what is going to be?

Almost 90% of the question are team or leadership based. I ran out of examples after two questions,

so I recommendated everyone try to prepare teamwork questions as many as possble.

How do you solve conflict in teams?
Example about how you influence a team?
What is your leadership style?
what do you consider your biggest accomplishment?
Tough questions: an example when you ask feedback from someone
If you have to fire someone, would you do it? How would you make that decision?

Overall, I think I did a 6 of out 10. I showed him that I did a lot of research about the school, but I felt that I did pretty aweful in some of the team questions because running out of examples. There is really no suprised question, so my advice to everyone is: know your story and practise, practise, practise!

Eventually I got the offer from the school and one year scholarship just a couple of days ago.

Upstairs, I hope it is not too late to answer your question. I interviewed with Sam, who are you interviewing with?
Good Luck!!!
Summerraining, sorry that I missed the admit student weekend. I just did my deposit last week, so I guess that is one of the reasons I didn't get the invite.
