An interview without a leading group usually invites 5-7 candidates to form a discussion group to discuss a management case and give improvements and solutions. Aside from the process, it emphasizes several key points to win.
First, correct self-assessment and accurate role positioning. Through simple self-introduction and the first round of discussion, members will find their own role orientation. The roles of leaders and presenters are the most brilliant and dangerous. Leaders need the ability to improvise, master the rhythm and adjust the atmosphere (for example, how to deal with the chaotic situation of pig teammates quarreling with everyone). The speaker needs to have strong language skills, be able to preserve the essence in a calm tone and sum up profound views. If you are sure that you are qualified for these two roles, you can take the initiative to volunteer.
Second, avoid "not talking" and "talking too much". In addition to the above two roles, there will naturally be followers, time controllers and other roles. However, no matter which role you choose, don't sit on the sidelines all the time, which will make you feel indecisive and have no contribution and participation to the team. For students who gush when they are excited, they must control the voice and rhythm of their statements. If you don't have a particularly original and profound point of view, you can choose to listen carefully to other candidates' speeches, and after affirming other people's views, simply add what needs to be improved.
Third, cooperation and team spirit. Knock on the blackboard and say the important things three times: team consciousness, team consciousness, team consciousness. If there is no leader and host in the whole interview and the team members turn against each other, then there is absolutely no winner in this interview. This is what the classic "prisoner's dilemma" theory of economics says. Some candidates deliberately refute the views of other candidates because they want to express themselves too much. But an MBA interview in advance is not a college debate. Only when the viewpoint is right or wrong can new and original viewpoints be added.
