This post has nothing to do with China, but has everything to do with life.

Read this NY Times article, “Answering the Unanswerable: Tips for the First Interview.”

Outstanding article. Should be mandatory reading for all undergraduate and MBA students in the entire world. But the title of the article should be changed to read, “Tips for ALL Interviews.”

The two questions discussed in the article — “What’s the most controversial belief you hold?” and “Are you interviewing outside of [field x]?” …. priceless.

I gotta work the themes of these two questions into our MBA application process …

What is a question similar to the questions noted in this article that you have been asked during an interview, and what did you say in response? Did you hit a home run with the question given to you, or a foul ball? Share and discuss!
