Alumni Advice to Students on Effective Interviewing

Conversations on Careers and Professional Life

In late 2022, I had the opportunity to speak with four Foster School of Business MBA Alumni who are now on the other side of the interview table about what they are listening for from candidates in behavioral interviews.

This episode features:

• Adam Schmidt at Accenture
• Sam Ead at Google
• Claire Herting at Walmart
• Skyler Brown at Goldman Sachs

I talked to each one separately, but as you will hear, in this compilation of their answers -- across industries and roles, there are some very clear trends: authenticity, enthusiasm, preparation.
