Round-1 2008-09 Telephonic Interview Experience - 1

Here are the details of an actual international / telephonic interview experience of a female candidate on October 29, 2007. 3 people were there in the panel. Hema, Kannan, and Menon.

The questions:
1. They gave her a word and one minute to think about it and talk. She thinks it is replacement for 100 words essay of personal interviewcandidates.
2. Where are you calling from?

3. How many Mercedes Benz cars are on German roads (I am fromGermany)? She made a wild guess, but asked about wild guesses and She does not remember what She answered.

4. Business question: Given a video game product of 1000$, how wouldyou sell it to Germans?
5. What are your post MBA plans?
6. Where do you go for cycling? (one of her hobby)

7. What was your experience with Israeli security officers (She wrote itsomewhere in her essays)? After that Hema asked her if She has any questions for them. She told them that she visited ISB in August and all my questions are answered at that time.

The interview lasted for 20 minutes and she thinks it ended quite abruptly.
