心得:

申請MBA是條漫長的道路,從進入社會時的懵懂無知到了解自己需的是什麼,
轉眼間五年就過去。Self-awareness是我覺得申請過程中最重要的部份。在search學校
跟所有申請開始前,必須要徹底了解自己以及要透過MBA得到什麼,對於後面
why mba, career goal以及種種essay問題才會有一致性的方向。
很慶幸可以遇到顧問David Lee (airturtle23),針對興趣,性格,專業,能力不停討論
挖掘下,找出challenge-oriented的個性,搭配工作經驗投射出post-MBA的
career goal。這對於self-awareness, passion, frustration, introduce yourself,
goal等類型的essay都有很大的幫助。MBA的申請過程與錄取後,會認識很多diverse背景
的人,多元化的課程可能反而讓自己迷失,所以了解要的是什麼在職涯上更顯重要。

除外,也許resume相對於essay可能會被忽略,但個人覺得resume是非常重要的東西。
這部份跟顧問花了超過一個月的時間,改了不下數十次。Resume字字珠璣,只要改變
寫法就可以把原本看似平常的經驗變成world class的等級(即便不是world class, 也
要是台灣最佳或者業界最佳)。要了解競爭的對手來自世界各地,沒有世界級的經驗
,很難跟別人競爭。還有不要妄自菲薄,每個人都有unique的地方,這些都要在resume中
展現出來。

每年各種mba tour,很多學校會在tour之前,請有興趣的申請者把resume
寄出,如果你在八月前搞定resume,就有機會提前面試給對方好的impression。
而且我後來遇到兩次跟Adcom都是blind interview,好的resume才讓對方馬上暸解你
solid的經驗。

Interview 經驗分享 (Ross, Fisher)
Ross 非常注重teamwork,Interview時很注重這點。題目如下:
* Why mba? Why now? Career Goal?
* How do your friends describe you?
* What's your role in a team?
* What's your biggest (proudest) accomplishment and how's your team's
performance in it?
* Give you 20 people, how do you pick up your teammates? (Do NOT pick up by
skills)
* How's your transition from one work to another?
* What's the difference of atmosphere in these companies?
* What's your contribution to Ross?
* Any questions?

Fisher 是Adcom 直接到台灣面試。
Fisher是直接請你寄resume過去,審查後會約面試(那時候連申請都還沒丟)
除了幾個基本該問的,列幾個比較不同的
* what's your passion? Why did you choose these jobs?
* you seems to like to take challenges? (他看activities 的時候問的)
* how to solve team conflicts?
* tell me about your company
* economy is not good in US, how do you see yourself finding jobs in US, the
chances?

面試建議將walk through resume練熟,然後各題目加以活用,記得多記幾個teamwork跟
Leadership的例子。

最後很感謝David Lee,很難想像有顧問可以跟你討論essay到半夜,強烈推薦。
謝謝今年申請workshop的朋友, Jim, Beck, Leslie, Justin, Josh, Ken …一起share
info,一起打氣。
謝謝幫助過的各校友以及2011 summit的夥伴: Aimei, Allen, Anita, Eillen,
Jacqueline, Jerry, Joe, Joy, Keira, Matt, Vita…


R2快到了, 版友們加油。堅持到最後一定會有好的結果。
