A Harvard Business School Mock Interview With A Unicorn Tech Guy

In this Friday’s with Sandy episode, Eric asked for a mock interview, and HBSGuru.com Founder Sandy Kreisberg takes his through the paces. It’s an excellent example of what a candidate might expect in an admissions interview at either Harvard, Stanford or any other highly selective business school.

Sandy here, one interview tip for Zoom etc is make sure you seated in a neutral background, I'm not sure I would enjoy talking to someone sitting in front of an unmade bed (or a made one!) -- but lotsa Zoom interviews I see have cluttered and distracting backgrounds. Folks, a blank wall works fine.

[@Zhengwenbo11]

I got it! Interview is not about the person being interviewed is about the interviewers get what they want to hear.

Lovely video

[@thegoogs]

He can be as smart as possible, but I don’t think a lot of schools would go for him. Classic computer engineer mindset.

[@SomeRandomHobo44]

I don't think he got into any mba schools (according to his linkedin)

I will get a lot of Hate Comments(gaali-galoch/galagali) for saying this but more than 90% IAS/IPS officers will never ever be able to Qualify this level, actually 95%, this is outstanding level of knowledge, skill competency, Hatts off to the Chinese guyguy and I am talking about guys who successfully became IAS/IPS.

[@destinydecember9773]

I don't think he is Chinese though

[@hsaaasss7455]

99 percent it person don't have even l of leadership, management and they think just by handling 2 person is big task..just like you are good in it ,they are good in their circle.. You cant catch gangster in a same way they cant have knowledge about it which are of no use for them ..stop being jeleous you are getting money , they getting social respect..seriously talking like typical it worker

[@hsaaasss7455]

The reality is you cant crack either iit or upsc..😂😂..first be a good leader otherwise in your company environment will be very toxic

Someone tell me why Jewish people are so damn funny

[@RifatIslamXD]

This guy is clearly tech smart but doesn't come across as "businessman-like" or business-smart. Not sure if MBA is right for him

[@ohcrapitsmrG]

Not all business people are salesmen. Sometimes you need a guy who has technical skills (internet security) who navigates business machinery

[@hsaaasss7455]

​@@ohcrapitsmrGnot needed much but still for getting admission he have to show little..Stanford is not a joke man..I have confidence in his knowledge but he did little bit extra things

[@apierre6]

Looking at his LinkedIn profile, it looks like he ended up not getting an MBA at all which seems like a better fit for his personality. Seems like he stayed in the engineering world.

[@k.matthews1158]

This guy was terrible. He will still end up getting into hbs and Stanford smh

[@ohcrapitsmrG]

Bitter? This guy has potential and not every MBA has to be this - look at me I am an Alpha salesman. The question can he deliver on what he promise - if so then he strong.

Lmao the way you’re talking about capability I hope you’re at least in one of those schools.

[@SomeRandomHobo44]
